    What newspaper corporations ARE doing well?

    Every job posting I hear "avoid (Gannett, Media General, CNHI, etc.)," and I know the biz isn't doing well... but surely, not ALL of the big owners are in the tank right now, right? Are any corporations doing well? Or at least, not to the point where they should be avoided? ???
