I will say this about the last month. It's been great for newspapers, both in terms of revenue and in getting journalists to snap out of the 15-year funk they've been in when down-sizing really hit everyone from the big companies like Gannett on down. In the last couple months I've talked to some of the folks who got out recently because the industry was down-sizing, but they're wanting to get back in because there are some powerful stories out there.
