Not Estes Park, and not a one-person operation, but a 3,200-circ semiweekly in Texas, not a whole lot more than a one-person, shut its physical office space last month. Comes off as cheap, and maybe cheaper yet when you're NOT owned by a hedge fund. https://beloblogging.blogspot.com/2025/10/3000-circ-semiweekly-closes-office.html
Maybe Alden will claim the Denver Post building is virtually in Estes Park?
LOL! So its the right-wing plutocrats behind Clarity Media vs the vulture capitalists strip miners at Alden Global Capital. And it is not clear who are the shadowy figures behind CBS News/Paramount/Skydance these days. Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right...

Let's further deconstruct:
"Lead the charge by assigning, writing and editing compelling stories, ensuring accuracy and adherence to journalistic standards."
To whom will you be assigning everything? And, whom will be hired, at a salary lower than this, if you are hiring anybody?
I mean, you ARE being hired to "Serve as the chief editor and primary reporter."
"Take charge of news budgets, optimizing resources for effective coverage."
Ditto.
"Dive into local reporting, contributing to the stories in the Estes community."
What? You're not going to just repost Denver Post stories? Not AI slop? You're going to do community news in a community newspaper?
"Ability to understand and analyze monthly financial statements and property performance."
WHAT "property performance" if there is no office, and presumably no company-owned computers etc.
Well, if bonuses are based on EBIDTA, isn’t that an incentive not to hire anyone else?
Or since it's Alden, maybe you get an even bigger bonus if you hire somebody, then fire them for cost savings?
