When a wonderful and caring company like Cox is selling their papers , reducing staff, and frankly signaling that their newspaper business is not a long term play in their portfolio of companies, that should tell anyone volumes about the health of the newspaper franchise.
The pain newspapers have been experiencing over the last couple of years will seem like great times over the next two.
