Onion_grower: Gannett stock fell 17% yesterday on falling earnings. Up 1% this morning. They have been in talks to buy Tronc, publisher of LA Times, Chicago Sun Times, Baltimore Sun, etc.

Onion_grower: The banks have pulled out of financing the takeover. Tronc stock fell 25% yesterday. Consolidation of newspaper industry may be the only way it can survive.
