Hearst Threatens to Shut Down Chronicle

Posted by Jeff as Uncategorized

Lose $50m a year and still not profitable… sounds more like a startup than a 143 year old newspaper.

In a posted statement, Hearst said if the savings cannot be accomplished “quickly” the company will seek a buyer, and if none comes forward, it will close the Chronicle. The Chronicle lost more than $50 million in 2008 and is on a pace to lose more than that this year, Hearst said.
