The major $$$ income for newspapers now is Political $$$.
Paid political ads from both parties.
If they can get both parties fighting...they make more money.

i really doubt that’s true anymore ... since practically no one reads newspapers anymore, it’s a complete waste of money to advertise in them for anything ...

i suspect that obituaries is actually one of their major sources of revenue: when they lost classifieds, they jacked obit rates up through the roof ... but even that is probably going down the tubes because their rates are so high and no one reads them, i’ve seen a lot of obits move to online obit sites ...
