NEW YORK (AP) — A hedge fund-backed bid to buy Gannett Co., the publisher of USA Today and several other major dailies, is renewing fears of consolidation and job losses — as well as a decline in the quantity and quality of news coverage — in the already battered newspaper industry.

Yeah, the cost cutting better be real deep.
"...USA Today..."
More good news!
How could it get any less or any worse? Most papers now are only a few pages, and it’s all crap. Our local city paper is awful.
Mocking them on Twitter would be a scream.
Die COMMIE SCUM, DIE!
I feel better, now.
Actually the concept of that paper was good. Sad that they were so stupid as to go full-bore Leftist anti-American stupid.

I’d say that ship sailed a long time ago....
They should have let FR excerpt and link. They’ve never recovered from that stupid decision.

Daily shitcago tribune is like tissue paper. Or toilet paper in a pinch.
Buy it and shut it all down, especially that vile USSR Today.
I hope it is a conservative hedge fund.
Albert John Dunlap
In 1994, Dunlap became the CEO of Scott Paper after Philip E. Lippincott stepped down from the position. He sold Scott Paper to Kimberly-Clark in 1995 for $9 billion and was given $100 million for his services.
The ruthless methods he employed to streamline failing companies, most notably Scott Paper, won him the nicknames “Chainsaw Al” and “Rambo in Pinstripes”
A documentary film was made about Dunlap in 1998 called Cutting to the Core—Albert J. Dunlap

Garnett could be in the black again if they’d just let FR post their articles.
Useless hay for pay—at least in south central Pennsylvania—has become nothing more than a pay-per-view High School Year book.
No serious investigations. No summaries of municipal meetings.
Just endless click-by-click (no thumbnail indexes) of High School homecomings, proms, and musicals.
Ad revenue is based on clicks and they’ve figured out how to offer the click bait.
Quality of news coverage of USA Today???, You gotta be sh!tting me.
What’s the matter, you can’t read? Notice, I said the CONCEPT was good.
And then I said the paper was stupid.
Not critical of you, I should have posted reply at beginning. My bad.
“decline in the quantity and quality of news coverage”
right, they print nothing but lies and the papers are so thin there’s not even very many lies anymore ...
(based on the old restaurant joke: the food there is so bad it’s ineatable and the portions are so small)
