Newspaper Companies in Bankruptcy: 14

Add Brown Publishing, an Ohio-based publisher of 15 daily newspapers, 32 weekly newspapers, 11 business publications and 41 free newspapers, shoppers or niche publications, to the bankruptcy list. That makes 14 U.S. daily newspaper companies that have fallen into bankruptcy in the last couple of years. A few emerged quickly, others have found the gestation longer than a couple of human pregnancies.

With the overall economy in upturn, and many of the non-bankrupt companies having restructured — and pushed out — debt with their lenders, we’d expect the list of banko newspaper companies wouldn’t grow much more. Then, again, getting rid of lots of debt when you can’t see a way to paying it down and operating profitably has become a more attractive option.
