Cons

Large company syndrome; i.e., bureaucracy.
The biggest issues are twofold: a serious economic downturn is affecting advertising in general leading to a a severe loss of ad revenue combined with the problems in the newspaper industry. These are seriously negative issues; Gannett relies on ad revenue and with readers transitioning from print to digital, there will be a significant trauma within the company until that transition is complete, which may take years. The core issue is that digital ad revenue simply does not come close to the ad revenue that was once generated by print advertisers in newspapers. Gannett's future is at stake.
