Gannett Reports Profit But 28.4 Percent Decline In Publishing Ad Revenue
Gannett Co., Inc (GCI) this morning reported earnings of $73.8 million, about half what the company took in a year ago but about the same as what the publisher earned last quarter.
The USA Today publisher’s ad revenue continued to fall but appears to be slowing: last quarter the company took in $753 million in print ad revenue; this quarter, $699 million.
Digital was the one revenue segment showing the most growth, to almost $143 million, an 84 percent increase from Q3 2008, but less than a 1 percent increase from last quarter when digital topped $142 mil.
The company also reduced its expenses by another 70 million dollars, mainly by closing offices.
