Analyst: newspaper stocks haven't hit bottom yet

Fitz and Jen:
Newspaper stocks were on the rise last week but Wachovia Equity Research senior analyst John Janedis warns don't be taken. "Beware of head fakes and false starts -- fundamentals yet to bottom," he wrote in note to investors today. The late Thanksgiving this year will hurt ad revenue, Janedis wrote and he backs it up with ad page counts for The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
I'm looking for a link to the Wachovia report.

McClatchy joining up with the Christian Science Monitor to use the religious group's foreign news offerings. So why not use Pat Robertson's Christian Newtwork News as well?

Instead of Christian Science Monitor, what about the Washington Times foreign stories. If Christian Science is okay, why not the Rev. Moon?

It's OK... they have been partnered with Al Jazeera for some time now.

It would be between 10,000 and 11,000 employees company-wide.
John Cornright
That’s post the recent plan?

Yes. In the low end of that range; a little over 10,000.
