The newspapers in my area -- Metropolitan Detroit -- are about the same size as the old larger magazines of my childhood;
Life,
Saturday Evening Post, etc.
While a great deal of the size and content shrinkage is no doubt due to the 'new media', I'd like to think that another significant reduction in the revenues to the newspaper publishers reflects their biased reporting and refusal to do investigative journalism the way they did in the past.

One percent return on revenue. Revenues dropping like a rock or the margin would be even smaller. Newsprint costs soaring; fortunately offset by a drop in circulation. Approximately 60 days operating expenses in cash, with that amount dropping at an annualized rate in excess of 20 percent. Credit lines tapped. Debt service coverage dismal.
I'd love to short their stock, and would too, if only they only weren't such a tempting takeover target to some not-too-bright over-endowed libtard with a hefty inheritance.

The company said net income fell 57.6 percent to $5.4 million, compared with $12.8 million in the quarter a year ago.
This is good news. I knew there was a bright side to this dark economy.

Wow, routinely offend half your potential customer base and the revenue drops. Whod have believed it possible? LOL - good one Jalisco - but it's worse. They also flip off lower class dems union guys, inner city blacks, and cross-the-border 'immigrants'. That leaves the New York Times with liberal elites - a group with much power and few members...
To sweeten the pot for advertisers, liberal elites are fashion conscience about consuming too much... besides how many car companies sell the Prius?

For the record, I did not put the sticker on there, but I would like to thank the person that did.

‘At the Regional Media Group, which includes local newspapers from Florida to California, the decline was 9.7 percent.’
My paper is one of the Times’s Florida vassals, and conservative Floridians are getting more resistant to he Times’ leftist spin. If they continue to lose money here. perhaps they will sell our papers to local more conservative owners.
