Although print media is on its deathbed, I do worry whether Dougie will be effective in using his new media empire to sway public opinion in favor of port district and downtown development project he has vested interests in. This is the whole reason he bought the UT in the first place.
Interestingly enough, KPBS reported earlier today that the SDUT and Manchester have both denied the acquisition of the NCT, but SDBJ is standing by its story.
