The turnover in newspaper ownership has been staggering to cities that wake up to find their newspaper sold and to employees who thought their jobs were safe.

Oh please!!! As if newspapers were the major employers in these cities.

Cleveland used to have three major newspapers; the morning Plain Dealer, the noon-ish Cleveland News, and the afternoon Cleveland Press. Many years ago the Press bought the News, and the PD finally absorbed the Press, and they both happened with some publicity, but nary a ripple, much less "staggering" of the city's operation and functioning. In each case it was all over in a few days and no one even remembered or cared six months later.
