• This Media Company Is Donald Yacktman's Top Pick

  By Anh HOANG - April 11, 2013 | Tickers: GCI, NWSA, MNI

• Reading the Newspapers and Media Stocks

  By Nate Wooley - February 25, 2013 | Tickers: GCI, NWSA, MNI, NYT, WPO

  It's interesting, to me at least, to watch the old grey lady, The New York Times, as it attempts to get out from under The Boston Globe. The initial thought, when the Times bought the Globe, was that a northeast powerhouse newspaper could really gain some synergies. Guess not, given that the price the Times is hoping to get for the Globe is much less than it paid.

• Pixelating the Old Gray Lady

  By Asit Sharma - July 12, 2012 | Tickers: GCI, MNI, NYT, WPO |

  One of the classic acoustical signatures of early morning in New York City's boroughs is the rumbling of heavy New York Times Co. (NYSE: NYT) delivery trucks dropping off bound stacks of the paper to neighborhood delis and bodegas. In recent years, as the economy has waned and more readers fire up a tablet while pouring their first cup of java, the presence of these once ubiquitous trucks has more »

  By Glen Bradford - June 6, 2012 | Tickers: GCI, LEE, MEG, MNI

  Finally! Lee Enterprises (NYSE: LEE) has someone on their side of size! I just woke up to a text from my friend, "Front running Buffett .... Not bad."

  Warren Buffett has found the space that I've been screaming about. I tried to call him a month ago but his secretary blocked me, as she has before a few years ago the last time I tried to call in about Conseco more »

  Facebook gets a lot of hype with its IPO rumored to give it a market cap of over $100 billion and its hundreds of millions of account holders but in the business world I hear more about LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD) than any other social media tool or website out there today.  Not everything I hear is good, as on one side of the argument you have those that will say more »

  It was undoubtedly a painful news item to report on; last week The New York Times ran an article detailing the lackluster results of its parent organization, The New York Times Company (NYSE: NYT). Operating profit for full-year 2011 cratered by almost 76% to $56.7 million, while net sank into the red by nearly $40 million in bleak contrast to 2010's profit of $107.7 million.
