If they stuck to reporting news and reflecting public opinion rather than trying so hard to shape it (opinion)... they wouldn’t be in this mess.

Another “All Obama...All the time” newspaper in trouble. My question...who is still reading Time magazine, with a record 17 Obama cover stories in the last year.

Looks like another round by the Obama Administration of hiring former journalists.

Stop in and doctor's, dentist's, accountant's, lawyer's, ad nauseum, waiting room and check the mag pile. Plus every plane has at least a couple of copies. I would hazard a guess that individual sales/subscriptions are less than 40% of the total press run. JMHO.

Thanks, I'm looking for to seeing their demise. They overlooked a lot of corruption in my hometown when they owned the local paper.

Good riddance!!

Gannett Will Cut More Than 1,000 Jobs

By RUSSELL ADAMS

Gannett Co., the largest U.S. newspaper publisher by daily circulation, will cut more than 1,000 jobs in response to continuing revenue declines, according to a person familiar with the company’s thinking.

The cuts will come from the U.S. Community Publishing division, which consists of Gannett’s more than 80 local dailies, the person said. They won’t affect the flagship publication, USA Today. It wasn’t clear exactly how many jobs will be shed, although the person said it will be fewer than 2,000.

NO ONE...they are laying on tables in doctor's & dentist's offices because some patients' kid sold it to them during a ‘fund raiser’!
