Denver Post Launches Public Revolt Against Its Hedge-Fund Owner

HeadlineApr 10, 2018

The Denver Post has launched a revolt against its owner: New York-based hedge fund Alden Global Capital. On Sunday, The Denver Post’s editorial board published a lead editorial headlined “As vultures circle, The Denver Post must be saved.” In the piece, editorial page editor Chuck Plunkett writes, “If Alden isn’t willing to do good journalism here, it should sell The Post to owners who will.” The move came after The Denver Post announced in March that it would cut another 30 jobs from an already-depleted newsroom. We’ll have more on this story later in the broadcast.
