Large newspaper chain McClatchy (MNI), which doubled down on the industry by purchasing Knight-Ridder, had a disaster of an August. The company reported that consolidated advertising revenues in August 2007 decreased 9.2% and total revenues were down 8.4%
Classified revenue at the group fell 17% and revenue in the company’s California newspapers was off over 16%. Even online ad revenue fell 3% to under $14 million.
At some point one of these newspaper companies is not going to have enough operating income to cover debt service.

Every day you don’t move to a high-yield savings account that beats inflation, you lose more and more value.
But there is good news. To win qualified customers, some accounts are paying 9-10x this national average. That’s an incredible way to keep your money safe, and get paid at the same time. Our top pick for high yield savings accounts includes other one time cash bonuses, and is FDIC insured.
Click here to see how much more you could be earning on your savings today. It takes just a few minutes and your money could be working for you.
