Two Chain Newspaper Execs Discuss Future
Two newspaper executives from large chains discuss the future of newspapers.
Anyone seeking solutions to the newspaper industry’s battles with declining circulation and advertising revenue didn’t find them during a roundtable discussion Wednesday at the Newspaper Association of America’s annual Mid-Year Media Review in New York.
What attendees did get were some provocative observations about the industry from Gary Pruitt, chairman, president and chief executive of McClatchy (nyse: MNI - news - people ), and Scott Flanders, president and chief executive of privately held Freedom Communications, the parent of The Orange County Register and other newspapers.
