You could have national newspapers, but with local advertising. But since this is expensive to do (so many different print versions to distribute) they need to automate this.
The Aberdeen press and journal has this approach producing 7 editions covering different areas. They manage to be biggest selling Scottish broadsheet, despite covering a relatively low population area (highlands and islands).
Apparently, the Tolkien Trust is supposed to be a charity. Businesses masquerading as charities seems to be de jour these days, not to mention the tax benefits....... I digress.
Erm the Tolkien Trust does give out a substantial amount to the WWF amongst other things (seem to be big on fixing church roofs from a quick google) and well charities are businesses, they just don't pocket the profit. Hey you can't give money to people if you haven't made it.
