In general trashy gossip magazines sell, that is why there are so many of them. There is a feedback mechanism there perhaps...

But that is in general. It seems Buffet here is a focusing on specific areas with a population that will be very likely to be interested in a local newspaper. Small, well established towns, with a strong sense of community.

The problem is see with that is that local communities that used to be established and strong can be destroyed pretty quickly according to how the local employment landscape changes (say a GM plant closes).
