Former Beatle Ringo Starr sends peace and love to the Cuthbert Amphitheater crowd after singing the Beatles’ tune “What Goes On” with his All Starr Band in Eugene, Ore., on Friday, June 2, 2023.

Holy cow. I knew Gannett was being driven into the ground by its debt and lousy owners, but @jbenton really brings the breadth and depth (mostly depth) of Gannett's plummet into sharp focus here.

This just took my breath away:

"In Q3 2018, USA Today reported a total daily circulation of 2,632,392. In its most recent filing, Q3 2022, that was down to 180,381."

The scale of local news destruction in Gannett’s markets is astonishing

It might not be as mustache-twirling a villain as Alden Global Capital, but its enormous scale has meant enormous losses for local journalism.
