Tony Ridder Newspaper Quotations

For those 12 newspapers that are being sold, the uncertainty is not over, and I regret that very much.

The newspaper business is strong in most markets, and we continue to restructure culturally to take advantage of it,

The newspaper business is a great business, ... We've just made the biggest acquisition in the history of our industry when we bought four newspapers from Disney ( DIS ). We think the newspaper business in print form . . . is a very, very good business.

Our jobs, always, have been to publish great newspapers and online services, and we have done that very well, ... It is important that we continue to do so in the weeks and months to come. Indeed, a big part of all of our jobs will be to stay focused. Nothing could be more critical to the best outcome of the process we're now in than that we run our businesses well.

The last few years have been very strong for the newspaper industry, ... And we think next year is going to be a very good year, as well.
