Pulitzer Inc. Revenues Drop in Sept.

Posted
By: (AP) Newspaper publisher Pulitzer Inc. Wednesday posted a 1.6% drop in revenue for September.

On Tuesday, Pulitzer delayed indefinitely the release of its third-quarter earnings report, which was due the same day, saying it needed to study the effect of a new accounting guideline that could require a non-cash charge.

Last month's revenue at the St. Louis-based company, which publishes the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Arizona Daily Star in Tuscon, and other newspapers, fell to $33.3 million from $33.9 million a year earlier.

Ad revenue at papers open at least a year -- also known as comparable advertising revenue -- fell 2.3% in September, the company said.

In afternoon trading, shares of Pulitzer fell $1.05, or 2%, to $50.98 on the New York Stock Exchange.
