'Post' Wants Great Profits or None at All, Thank You Very Much
From "Mort Bids for Philly Papers," by Janet Whitman, in today's Post:
However, the two Philadelphia papers, with operating margins of about 10 percent, are more profitable than Zuckerman's New York operation, which is believed to barely eke out a profit, said newspaper consultant John Morton.
Yeah, it must suck to "barely eke out a profit." But, then, it must suck even more to lose $15 to $30 million a year.
