In a sign of the depth of the declines facing even the strongest newspaper brands, USA Today’s Q1 ad revenues could fall 30- to 35 percent year-over-year, Gannett (NYSE: GCI) executives told an analyst conference, Reuters reported. No word yet as to what was said about Gannett’s prospects for the digital side. In the meantime, Gannett said that capital expenditures would come in around $100 million by the end of this year.
