Journal Register joins the flight from print

And yet another US newspaper owner is eager to sell off titles. The Pennsylvania-based Journal Register company is exploring the sale of 26 of its Massachusetts and Rhode Island publications due to slower growth and because it wants to focus on its more profitable online ventures. The company, which owns 393 papers, called the newspaper market "extremely challenging" and said its online operations generate a higher return on capital, profits and cash flow. This follows yesterday's decision by Dow Jones to sell six papers. (Via Journal Register)
