Good, fuck em, if you don't sell enough product keep your company trading, you fold. Simple.
Which basically means the only papers left are the ones backed by people with money to burn. You know, people like Murdoch.
But it's so much easier to just wave your hands and say "well obviously something can be done" without actually making suggestions.

If you enforced any breaking up of the media groups, most papers would fold - apart from the two biggest: The Sun and Mail.
The rest operate on such thin margins they're already at breaking point.
The Mirror will likely merge within Northern & Shell in the next year or so and the Guardian is increasingly toothless. i and Indy already sold off/closed down.
