One of my favorite financial guru, Warren Buffet had a number of interesting things to say at the annual Bershire hathaway shareholder's meeting today, especially on newspapers!
Since Buffet has long held himself out as a newspaper man, ( as a child, his first job was delivering newspaper) his remarks come more intuitively...
-As long as newspapers were essential to readers, they were essential to advertiser....But news is now available in many other venues.
-Washington Post has a solid cable business, a good reason to hold on to it, but its newspaper business is in trouble. (Berkshire has a substantial investment in Washington Post Co)
