    The #PressDemocrat, a prominent newspaper in #SantRosa and #SonomaCounty, has been sold to #MediaNewsGroup, a subsidiary of #AldenGlobalCapital. The sale raises concerns among local #journalists and SF #BayArea residents due to Alden’s reputation for cost-cutting measures, including staff reductions and "shared" resources, which could impact the quality and depth of local news coverage. The sale was a surprise to the newsroom staff, who are now uncertain about their future under new ownership.

    Nearly 20 years ago, a federal judge extended an order barring #Hearst Corp. and MediaNews Group Inc. from collaborating on local distribution and national advertising sales. It was part of an antitrust lawsuit alleging monopolistic practices in MediaNews’ acquisitions of Bay Area #newspapers. Then, as now, we should remain concerned about both companies, and the potential effect of #monopoly, or #oligopoly.

    #RCMP arbitrarily decides who's a #journalist & who isn’t & prevented journalists from #accessing sites of #Indigenous resistance. When #media fought back RCMP reduced those barriers only to #obstruct journalists’ ability to #document arrests. #Mounties have aimed guns at journalists. They’ve #arrested & #jailed #reporters for doing their job. These are #incursions on journalists’ & all #Canadians #ConstitutionalRight to a #FreePress 💥
