Winter Blues Part 2

Team,

While researching for the previous post, I ran across some more information that might be valuable.

The E.W. Scripps Company is selling off the Rocky Mountain News, one of the nation's most recognized and respected tabloid newspapers. This may come as surprise, especially following announcements by other large publishing companies, such as Cox (Austin American-Statesman) and Landmark (Virginia Pilot in Norfolk), of sales in recent weeks.

Also, an update on the Gannett story. Editor & Publisher is reporting that the total number of jobs cut in the company's move to scale back its workforce may be over 2,000 by the end of the cuts.

I highly recommend reading through Editor & Publisher on occassion. For more on these stories and others, go to www.editorandpublisher.com

I'll try and find some happy news to post about later ;)

Your thoughts?

Evan
