This is an excellent read. I had hopes PSS was in it for the right reasons. He even reinvigorated the San Diego Union-Tribune for a few years after he bought it in the Times deal. But recently he dumped the UT to hedge fund vultures and it’s really hurting now. PSS’ recent behavior is really unsettling. Journalism should be seen as a public service before a business, and I know I’m being naive when I say that. I think a big reason why much of society doesn’t want to pay for their news is because they feel they have a right to information. And some might say they are right. Society can’t function without it.

Thank you for reading! I’m glad you found it excellent. Somehow I’m thinking Patrick Soon-Shiong doesn’t want my business advice. Quite a lot has been said about his daughter Nika over there, but I think that Nantworks needs closer examination. Advancing my investigation in that area now! Perhaps it’s just aging at work?
