The company's newspaper division experienced a $2.9 million drop-off in revenues, an improvement over the $14.3 million loss suffered during the corresponding quarter last year.

Thank you, Andreson--you made my week! I try to attract brilliant and discerning followers, as you obviously are, to my blog, but I admit that I'm often tempted to go the easier blog-as-GPS route, as in: "BYAM, I'm now at Starbucks having a latte, LOL, but it's $4, WTF."
