We haven't given up yet. All the people we talk to in these communities want more news, not less.

Whenever you have one entity that is controlling news over that big of an area it poses concerns. I don't see where, in the long run, delivering less news is going to be good for readers, the community, or the industry.

Today's announcement... is bad news for newspaper workers, readers, advertisers and for our communities.

The status quo is dead. And that's why people are so nervous.

I think both sides were very careful not to get into any particulars. The good news is we are having a dialogue. We don't appear to be at an impasse.

People write negatives things, cause they feel that's what sells. Good news to them, doesn't sell.
