Nope, Alden isn't done devouring local newspapers. And anyone remember when Soon-Shiong 'inexplicably' helped Alden buy Tribune? #NewsOurCommunitiesDeserve latimes.com/entertainment-ar…

Allan Block likes to see and be seen in positons of prestige and power around Toledo, @CSPAN, and beyond. But as the Ohio Newsroom reports, he runs his hometown newspaper like a slumlord.

ALT News copy and a quote from an Ohio Newsroom writeup that reads: The union is also asking the company to maintain current levels of health care coverage instead of implementing proposed cuts. It wants protections for certain jobs to guarantee they won’t be outsourced to freelancers. And it’s asking Block Communications to improve workplace conditions. “We’ve had issues with a very leaky roof. We’ve had cockroaches in the building. We’ve had mold in the air,” King said. “But really, the most important thing we’re asking for is the ability to do our jobs without fear of losing them.”

Rents have shot up in some low-income neighborhoods in West Virginia as new property owners threaten residents with eviction notices and "pay or quit" letters.
The new owners? The parent company of "the destroyer of newspapers," Alden Global Capital cjr.org/special_report/alden…
“We’re both on disability. I don’t know where we’re going to go… There’s hardly any places around here, and the ones that are here cost too much. ... this all started when the new owners took over.” Alden Global Capital, that is. #SaveLocalNews
