Gannett Slashes Again - 130 More Jobs - Restructuring Continues

Gannett Corportion - GCI trading symbol - The Daily Times parent company - continues to cut personel and this time it announced that 9% of its workforce would be reduced within the next three months.

Market share has dropped yet again for this media giant and its stock value has tanked from $90/Share in 2004 to its current trading level of just $12.09/Share.

Just how low Gannett will go remains to be seen. But odds are that if you are one considering in trading the stock - my advise would be to short your position.

It doesn't surprise me at all. With people like Shanie working for them or just sleeping at their desk. I used to go to their place across from the hospital and Shanie would be at a desk day dreaming. Never saw her do anything.

Joe, you appear to have mis-read this Bloomberg news item.

Gannett is a multi-national corporation with about 50,000 employees globally. A 9 percent cut would represent thousands of people.

The story - if you even bothered to read it - explains how USA Today will be cutting some of its workforce, NOT all of Gannett. Do try to keep up!

If they would STOP publishing the "Wicomico Weekly", look at the money they would save. I've requested several times to have this paper stopped. I don't want it!!! I'm guessing several of my neighbors do not wish to have it since they are left in their driveways & driven over day after day....Daily Times drive around & see how these papers are littering our neighbors & streets!!!

These papers jump in bed with the dumbocrats, and look what happens to their business.
