Return of the press barons sought

A major British newspaper, amid reports that many British newspapers may go online only or reduce frequency of publishing, calls for the return of the press baron. Times Online recalls that owning newspapers were a way for a privileged elite to exert power, and suggests that press barons might be a savior for newspapers. It suggest that perhaps Bill Gates might want to buy his hometown Seattle Post-Intelligencer, which is either going to be sold or closed, according to the company.  It's a game plan.
