The Wheeling Alternative
Is this the only afternoon newspaper in the United States that has nothing about President Trump contracting the coronavirus?
Here is President Trump’s tweet from 12:54 AM this morning:

Keeping up with Senator Capito

Newspapers and baseball on the cheap
A fall 2020 update of the Nutting business model
Over the last two years, I have done several posts on what I believe is Robert Nutting’s business model for his newspapers and his baseball team (“on the cheap”). (I first described the model here.)
