Self-described Newsosaur Allan Mutter reports that in a basically flat year on Wall Street the 11 publicly-traded newspaper companies ended 2011 down 27%.
Faring worst was A.H. Belo, whose newspapers include the Dallas Morning News and the Providence Journal, which saw its shared dip 45%. Helping to bend the curve in the right direction was News Corp. — a multi-national, and much more diversified than the average U.S. media company — which was up 10% on the year.
The New York Times, which introduced digital subscriptions, dipped 21%.
