Untitled

Section under corporate culture says "some say the newspapers lose their quality"--worst sort of rumor mongering. Who says? Please indicate sources. Deirdre 04:51, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Help!

Something weird happened and I lost the other sections....I don't know what I did! Deirdre 20:59, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of publications

Did a big rearrange today, sorting the publications by state and city name, and running them in two columns. The "other properties" section is still not done -- someone needs to look it over and make sure all TV/radio properties are included (they're currently not, but I know there are broadcast geeks on this wiki who could do the job better than me). In the future, it would be best to copy other large media company articles (cf. Journal Register Company, Community Newspaper Holdings) and put only a list of top-circulation papers on the main page, and list everything in a separate "List of properties owned by MediaNews Group". I don't have circ figures for MNG handy, though. _W i k i _W i s t a h ^t / _c 22:22, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deal with Hearst Corp.

Could some expert help sort out his confusing change of ownership? [1] SaltyBoatr 17:31, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

History

The history section should be a bit more accurate. It is said that among these who gave the loan to MediaNews was the Gates Foundation. Two question: How much did it give? Who were the others? (I read it was General Electric Capital Corporation, the BMG Foundation and some banks, but i recite from my brain, do not know how much they gave in % and whether this information is correct. I just think it should be more accurate than only mentioning Gates Foundation WITHOUT saying how much in % or in total amount they contributed). 80.108.103.172 (talk)

Chambersburg Public Opinion

I want to put the Chambersburg Public Opinion [2] in the list, but the partnership with Gannett makes it a bit different. At 17,000 daily circulation maybe it should be left out anyway. Smallbones (talk) 18:12, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Prairie Mountain Publishing subsidiary

Wondering about adding info about this Boulder-based subsidiary, which purchased Lehman Communications, owner of several local Colorado papers, in Jan/Feb 2011.

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

From your friendly hard working bot.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 17:27, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I replaced the links and removed your template, Cyberbot; take another look if you like. The newly linked copies list no author, so archive links will be needed if the by-line is to stand. Yappy2bhere (talk) 20:51, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"was" or "is"

The first line says this organization "was", but there's no indication of its disposition. It should either say "is" or tell us what happened to it. It appears to be still in existence but owned and/or managed by another organization. Lou Sander (talk) 16:16, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
