In the United States, the company publishes 85 daily newspapers, including USA TODAY, and nearly 850 non-daily publications. Along with each of its daily newspapers, the company operates Internet sites offering news and advertising that is customized for the market served and integrated with its publishing operations. USA TODAY.com is one of the most popular news sites on the Web. The company is the largest newspaper publisher in the U.S. Newspaper publishing operations in the United Kingdom, operating as Newsquest, include 17 paid-for daily newspapers, more than 200 weekly newspapers, magazines and trade publications in the U.K., locally integrated Web sites and classified business Web sites with national reach.

Each of these stations also operates locally oriented Internet sites offering news, entertainment and advertising content, in text and video format. Through its Captivate subsidiary, the broadcasting group delivers news, information and advertising to a highly desirable audience demographic through its video screens located in elevators of office towers and select hotel lobbies across North America. Gannett’s total Online U.S. Internet Audience in January 2009 was 27.1 million unique visitors, reaching about 16.1% of the Internet audience, as measured by Nielsen//NetRatings. Complementing its core publishing and broadcasting businesses, the company made several important advances in its digital strat- egy through key business acquisitions. In September 2008, the company increased its ownership in CareerBuilder LLC (CareerBuilder) to 50.8% from 40.8%, obtaining a controlling interest, and in June 2008, the company increased its ownership in ShopLocal LLC (ShopLocal) to 100% from 42.5%. The results of these businesses are now fully consolidated. Concurrently, a new “Digital” business segment is being reported, which includes CareerBuilder and ShopLocal results from the date of full consolidation, as well as PointRoll, Planet Discover, Schedule Star and Ripple6. Ripple6, acquired in November 2008, is a leading provider of technology platforms for social media services for publishers and other users. Also enhancing our digital strategy are our investments and partnerships in such companies as Classified Ventures, for auto and real estate ads; Metromix, a platform for local enter- tainment Web sites; Topix.net, a news content aggregator; 4INFO, a leading mobile media and advertising company; and more. Gannett was founded by Frank E. Gannett and associates in 1906 and incorporated in 1923. The company went public in 1967. It reincorporated in Delaware in 1972. Its more than 225 million outstanding shares of common stock are held by approximately 8,500 shareholders of record in all 50 states and several foreign countries. The company has approximately 41,500 full-time and part- time employees including 2,000 for CareerBuilder. Its headquarters are in McLean, Va., near Washington, D.C. 2008 GANNETT ANNUAL REPORT 1 Letter to Shareholders A slowing and increasingly troubled economy dogged Gannett throughout 2008, affecting both our results and the progress of our transformation. We had many successes during the year – growth in online revenues, a number of key investments that strengthened our portfolio and the launch of multiple innovative ini- tiatives – but the combination of secular changes in our industry and the unprecedent- ed global economic downturn took its toll. Overall, operating revenues were $6.8 billion. Net income from continuing operations would have been $747 million were it not for impairment and other charges in the sec- ond and fourth quarters totaling $8.4 billion pre-tax ($7.4 billion after-tax). These charges caused us to report a net loss from continuing operations of $6.65 billion or $29.11 per share. These numbers, I believe, reflect the economy and the changes in our industry but – especially with the impairment charge – don’t adequately demonstrate the true CRAIG A.

  • The Crowded Field: Eight Men for the Senate
    Copyright © 1979 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. The Crowded Field: Eight Men for the Senate RALPH R. TINGLEY Party factionalism, individual ambitions, and personal rivalries contributed in 1924 to a situation unique in South Dakota politics. The names of eight candidates vying for one seat in the United States Senate graced the November ballots. Beyond the multiplicity of candidates, the election contest was also marked by its longevity, an element aggravated by a complex primary system initiated by the Richards Primary Law of 1918. Under this law, the election process started on the second Tuesday of November in the preceding year so that almost twelve months passed before final office holders were elected. The 1924 election, therefore, started on 13 November 1923, when every precinct elected three proposalmen for each party. Besides selecting county candidates, these proposalmen also chose three of their number from the county to assemble with other county delegations on 4 December to propose candidates and prepare a state platform for their party. At this state meeting in Pierre, each delegate had the power to cast votes totaling one-third the number of votes cast in his county for the party's gubernatorial choice in the preceding election. Proposal- men who dissented from the majority nomination could file an alternate slate. Any additional nonconformists were required to file as independents, without majority or minority sponsorship but with individual petitions that had endorsements representing at least 1 percent of the total number of votes cast for the party's Copyright © 1979 by the South Dakota State Historical Society.

    ROCHESTER HISTORY Edited by Joseph W. Barnes, City Historian Vol. XXXVIII AprilandJuly, 1976 Nos. 2 and 3 The Arson Years Fire Protection, Fire lnsuhnce, and Fire Politics 1908-1910 By Joseph W. Barnes The human fascination with fires and fire-fighting endures through the years. If tragic losses of life and property are still a serious concern, despite modern building codes and fire­ fighting methods, only a small leap of imagination is needed to appreciate how frightening fire could be in the years when even the downtown sections of cities were largely wooden; when spark-generating coal was the major fuel for all purposes; and when hundreds of hay-filled barns were tucked behind houses and commercial establishments. As in other American cities, these conditions prevailed in turn-of-the­ century Rochester. A legendary kerosene lamp started the fire which leveled Chicago in 1871. Thirty or forty years later such lamps were still common in barns, and gas lights could still be found in homes. The incandesccn t lamp was replacing gas, but the rapid introduction of electricity created another hazard until principles of safe wiring were learned.
