SocraticGadfly: No takers for Miami Herald?

No takers for Miami Herald?

McClatchy has the Herald on the block, but nobody’s buying, reportedly.

Why would they? South Florida real estate will be in the tank — commercial reali estate, mind you, and not just homes — for another five years, I would guess. That means five years of crappy real estate add.

Meanwhile, McC has $2 bil of buyout debt from taking over Knight-Ridder just two short years ago. God, it sucks to be in this business.

I mean, community newspaper chains aren’t as bad off, certainly, but folks whose newspaper companies are based on big dailies?
