A Florida billionaire with a fondness for local news is looking to build a newspaper giant by potentially scooping up publishers <a href="https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/LEE">Lee Enterprises</a> and <a href="https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/DALN">DallasNews</a>.
David Hoffmann, who last month disclosed a 5.2% stake in Lee Enterprises, has raised that interest to 8.7%, making him the Davenport, Iowa, company's second-largest shareholder.
