Gannett and Belo announced the surprise deal June 13. They expect it will be completed by the end of the year.

Please keep your posts focused on Gannett and media-related subjects. Note that I occasionally review comments in advance, to reject inappropriate ones. And I ignore hostile posters, and recommend you do, too."
