Gannett Co. Inc. reported a 4 percent slip in third-quarter revenue to $1.25 billion because of declines in advertising sales, mainly at its newspaper properties.
Publishing revenue dropped 3.6 percent to $858.1 million on a 6 percent decline in advertising revenue.
At its broadcast TV station divisions, total revenue fell 15 percent to $198.5 million because it did not benefit from Olympic or political advertising as it did in the third quarter last year.
Net income for the quarter was $79.7 million, or 34 cents per share, compared with $133.1 million, or 56 cents per share, for the same quarter last year.
