Notes on concentration of ownership

This doesn't necessarily happen all the time, but it's an interesting little tidbit: identical editorials appearing in newspapers around the country on the same day. All of the papers involved are owned by Freedom Communications, Inc., although they go to different lengths to disguise this fact in their disclosures. This is not the first venture that Freedom Communications has made into what it calls "joint content." But syndicated cooking and advice columns are one thing, and control of the editorial page is in a different category.
