Warren Buffett advised how to run a newspaper.  Did anyone listen?

Newspapers publishers should read and heed Buffett's advice. I see no evidence that they have.

See his letter to the editors of the newspapers that he (Berkshire Hathaway) owns:

And see his advice in his annual letter of 2016 at page 16

When the greatest businessman in history tells you what to do, it is pretty silly to ignore it.
