Over the course of a generation, the story of the daily newspaper has been an unchecked slide. The forces killing newspapers are well understood. If newspapers have any chance at survival, it may be through a return to the original model of ownership: the newspaper mogul. In The Return of the Moguls, media critic Dan Kennedy charts the course being set by Jeff Bezos at the Washington Post, John Henry at the Boston Globe, and other wealthy and iconoclastic individuals committed to saving the daily newspaper.
This presentation is part of the Moses Greeley Parker Lecture Series.
