As you note, under 2K people. Lots of people crying for the paper to come back may be a big number by percentage, but totals? Not so much.

In West Tex-ass, at least, that's because of demographic changes, and I am sure Alden is not investing in a Spanish-language newspaper, whether single-county or multi-county. Ditto for other corporates.
Guy here in Texas made his paper in the suburban Metroplex a nonprofit corp last year, then decided he needed to rescue one West Texas paper and had big ideas about others. Likely won't happen.
