News gathering is now done by individuals with a variety of sources online or by flipping around on cable. There aren't enough people who love the 'look and feel' of newspapers to build a market.<br /><br />Also, the Star is an ever-shrinking low quality product. It's a one-sided uncritical cheerleader for City Hall. There may be a place for real journalism in KC, but the Star is incapable of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-33437974711216690942018-04-15T06:47:50.631-05:002018-04-15T06:47:50.631-05:00The star killed itself with the worst reporters on...The star killed itself with the worst reporters on the face of the earth!

We also recorded goodwill impairment charges of $290.9 million in 2015 and masthead impairment charges of $13.9 million, $5.2 million and $5.3 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, we have goodwill of $705.2 million and mastheads of $150.0 million. Further erosion of general economic, market or business conditions (nationally and in our local markets) could have a negative impact on our business and stock price, which may require that we record additional impairment charges in the future, which negatively affects our results of operations."<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-1916635685505976872018-04-14T19:07:43.965-05:002018-04-14T19:07:43.965-05:00^^^ that imagines that they want to hold on to the...^^^ that imagines that they want to hold on to the company.
