Defending our revenue
We all come to work each day to make a positive difference for our customers and advertisers. In today’s competitive marketplace, we each recognize the need to fight for market share, to scrap for every dollar we earn. Our commitment to remain relevant to our customers and to defend our revenue is vital to our future.

Investing in our future success
I just celebrated my first year anniversary with Freedom and as you all know, the world of media has changed even more dramatically than I anticipated. We all know that print and the local TV news are not dead, nor are they dying. Today’s industry challenges are about how to interact with our customers in the right way and at the right time. The media industry is at its crossroads of learning and discovery to find what new and existing products best deliver news, information and entertainment to our customers. And, our advertisers are searching for solutions that reach an increasingly fragmented and time-pressured audience.

By now you’re aware of the recent reorganization of our newspaper division. The realignment of our metro and community newspapers illustrates Freedom’s move toward a shared organization supporting current and future enterprise initiatives—a direct result of our Strategic Initiatives project started earlier this year, or Phase I of our plan.
