The last decade has been tough on newspapers. As news consumers moved online. And yet, a handful of wealthy individuals have purchased newspapers in recent years, hoping to turn things around. Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.com, and John Henry, owner of the Boston Red Sox, purchased the Washington Post and the Boston Globe respectively in 2013. And they’re not the only ones.
