    Shared by Andrew Chavez 2 years 32 weeks ago

    John Cribb of newspaper brokerage Cribb, Greene & Associates. "This is not the financial condition of an industry that is failing. Auto and real estate businesses can be down 40% or more, and many retailers are down 25% - far worse than newspapers," Cribb writes. "Mid and small newspapers are holding up well considering the intensity of this recession."
