Bankruptcy filed by Ohio newspaper publishers

From Bloomberg.com:

"Newspaper publishers Brown Media Holdings Co. and Brown Publishing Co. have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy relief and plan to sell their assets in 10 states to a bidder the companies have chosen. The Cincinnati-based, family-owned businesses filed Friday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York, asking for approval of $2.5 million in financing to help the companies through bankruptcy."


The list of newspapers Brown & Brown own are small dailies and weeklies, many located in Ohio. The company will be sold, but surely in these tough times not all of the newspapers will survive.
