Edward Atorino Quotations

There are some deep-pocketed guys who want to own newspapers.

Newspapers have an agenda that does not match people's opinions in many cases, ... They are out of step politically, they are out of step in coverage. People get fed up with that. Newspapers are out of touch with mainstream Americans and now the problems are coming home to roost.

For Tribune, on a long-term basis, it's terrific. While in the short term there's a lot of dilution, ultimately this will be a monster success.

It could add a few million bucks to the bottom line.

This deal may get people to start dusting off their files about newspaper values.

It sounds like they have a backer, and it's always all about the money.

It's definitely going to be a positive for the bottom line, but we're talking pennies here. All of this is gravy.

If no one is going to the malls, they're not going to advertise as much.
