1. Since I've been challenged by @a_picazo, I'll explain why I'm wary of PostMedia proposal that Canadian gov't should subidize newspapers

Maybe bail them out with the caveat that they have to break up the big newspaper to make it less disastrous if one fails.

12. A longer range model would have industry with more local papers (ironically many Postmedia outlets make money, but tied down by debt).

So they're tied down by debt, like many other for-profit companies.

Why not subsidies for newspapers that incorporate as nonprofits and limit themselves to one paper per org?

Postmedia is banking on the media's important traditional social role, which it long ceased to play. But letting it collapse, no.

I'd prefer to see $ for a whack of community & regional news bureaus, co-ops à la Cdn Press or social enterprises like Propublica.

Funding content creation, let media platforms (papers, tv/radio, Facebook/Buzzfeed) compete for access.

Govt should keep funding national news"paper" (CBC) and otherwise let chips fall etc.
-
That's the most elegant solution but local papers fill genuine needs not covered by CBC.
