• Gannett Co., USA Today publisher and giant newspaper conglomerate, is reporting its earnings fell by nearly 11 percent in the third quarter, with ad revenue down 5.6 percent. [AP]
  
• The McClatchy Company, owner of The Sacramento Bee and The Miami Herald, saw quarterly profits fall by 5 percent, with ad revenue down by nearly 10 percent.
