"It will be enlightening to the employees to face the realities in the business world, particularly reporters -- don't take this personally -- who don't understand they are a business."

Always best, IMHO, to prudently manage your own financial affairs even though it takes considerable effort. FWIW a small investor must first lose some cash savings on a investment that defaults before their opinion carries any weight with me. First they got to feel the pain that comes from unaccountable bankruptcy judges handing out their equity like candy to attorneys charging $500 per hour to Xerox forms.

What's really meaningful now, said Atorino, is the company is no longer under the thumb of Wall Street: "It's gets them out of the spotlight and gets them away from quarterly pressures."

Tribunesaurus wants a private place to die and RIP.

Amazing how a business must make money and flow cash in order to make payroll and all them other mundane thingys. This is so if its a private company or the stock is publicly traded.

I guess reporters have been sorta like government workers for too long. They thing their paycheck just falls from the sky...
