Mike, do you have any sense whether private or nonprofit ownership might be in the future for some papers? Or is that just a goo-goo fantasy?

Private vs. nonprofit? Very different things. How many Poynter Institutes can there be? On the other hand, there could be as many egotistical billonaires that want to own newspapers as there are that want to own big league sports teams. Some you wouldn't anywhere near your favorite paper. But the idea's no fantasy.
