Gannett shares tank in early trading

Update at 2:46 p.m. PT: Shares closed at $30.23, down 4.8% after trading as low as $30.20.

Wall Street didn't cotton to this morning's monthly statistical report, disclosing that Gannett's operating revenue fell 7.5% last month from January 2007. Gannett's stock is down more than 3%, trading at $30.28 -- a new 52-week low -- as I write this. Overall, newspaper stocks fell.
