I'm not sure about this move by Mr. Buffett. Local newspapers have been a perfect "toll bridge" for years, but the Internet has completely changed the game and now local advertisers do have a choice that they hadn't before.

We live on a farm and rural Georgia and
subscribe to the local newspaper in order
to follow local sports and doings.
All other contact with the outside world
is on line.

That might satisfy the orthodox value component Mr Buffett practices,however Berkshire's long presence in printed media suggests some sort of long game?
