Warren Buffett Recent Local Newspaper Acquisitions In 2013 and through 2014 Berkshire Hathaway acquired 31 daily newspapers for over $350 million.with what everyone says about the death of print media, many might wonder why he would take these on. [In his annual Letter to Shareholders], Buffet says: "Newspapers continue to reign supreme, however, in the delivery of local news. If you want to know what s going on in your town whether the news is about the mayor or taxes or high school football there is no substitute for a local newspaper that is doing its job. A reader s eyes may glaze over after they take in a couple of paragraphs about Canadian tariffs or political developments in Pakistan; a story about the reader himself or his neighbors will be read to the end. Wherever there is a pervasive sense of community, a paper that serves the special informational needs of that community will remain indispensable to a significant portion of its residents....charlie and I believe that papers delivering comprehensive and reliable information to tightly-bound communities and having a sensible Internet strategy will remain viable for a long time.
