Pat Bagley's 2018 political cartoon portrays a giant black spider emblazoned with a red dollar sign and labeled 'Alden Hedge Fund,' sprawling across a dark web that ensnares multiple newspaper entities. Figures with hats, each tagged with names like Denver Post, Boulder Daily Camera, Mercury News, and St. Paul Pioneer Press, dangle helplessly in the web, symbolizing entrapment. The artwork uses media ownership satire to critique hedge fund influence, underscoring newspaper industry decline and journalism crisis. Dark, scribbled lines form the web, enhancing the ominous tone of this editorial illustration on predatory financial practices in media.
