                      1. An app for aggregating news is considered more valuable than most individual publications it aggregates from. mediagazer/751488737599582209

                      The entirety of WaPo sold for half or less than the valuation of SmartNews. This is more than 25% the value of the NYT.

                    The SmartNews app for aggregating news is worth 1/3rd the total valuation of BuzzFeed.

                  All of Tronc, which owns the paper listed in the SmartNews preview image, has a market cap of $431.40M, $70-170 million less than this app.

                The LA Times, which is being used in the SmartNews preview, is a mere fraction of a total company which is still worth less than this app.

              I just downloaded the app & opened it. First story is from The Huffington Post. HuffPo was sold for ~$200M less than this app is valued for.

            Exactly what value is it adding to these publishers? Speed? Less advertising? Suggestions?

          The building that once was filled with Tribune Media is worth more than Gawker. kelseymsutton/770744253949550597

        But also that huge building still isn't worth half-as-much as the valuation for a company that aggregates news from other companies.

      Good time to note that Gawker was sold for about 1/5th the value of a SmartNews, an app that does little but aggregate Gawker and others.
