In the past few years, Gannett, as well as several other Newspaper/Publishers have been on the downswing. Many of these companies were late getting adequately set-up online or reluctant to rid themselves of magazine/paper units that were losing money.

However, information is power, and these publishing companies still have many eyeballs and many resources and with the help of smart phones and tablets, many have apps set up, fresher looking/interactive websites and most of the stocks have rebounded, especially in the past 3-6 months.
