Stand up to the Wall Street hedge fund strip mining 200+ newspapers nationwide.

Alden Global Capital, a secretive hedge fund with ties to the Republican Party and the far right, has been quietly buying up newspapers around the country.  Its executives stash money in notorious tax havens worldwide and operate a complex web of funds and business structures to hide their investors from public view.

Under Alden’s reckless management, newspaper staffing levels have been slashed to the bone.  In many cases, Alden is laying off the very journalists who otherwise would investigate and expose this kind of business conduct.

Journalism is vital to a healthy democracy, and transparency is essential to accurate, independent reporting and public trust in the news media.

Sign our petition demanding that Alden Global Capital publicly disclose its investors, investments and political donations. The public has a right to know who is running the media outlets that we depend on for information and news.
