Gannett Co. (GCI) today reported second-quarter earnings of $151 million, or $.63 per share, on revenues of $1.3 billion, and announced that it would double the dividend it pays to shareholders, to 8 cents per share.

This is a 22 percent decrease in income from the same quarter in 2010; perhaps because advertising revenue was 6.5 percent, or $46 million less than it was a year ago, circulation was down $5 million or 1.7 percent, and digital revenues were up only $19 million.
