Media company Gannett Co. Inc., whose holdings include The Des Moines Register, saw publishing income drop and digital income soar in the first three quarters of the year, according to a Nov. 2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Virginia-based Gannett said net operating income in the publishing segment fell 23.4 percent; in the digital area, results were up 86 percent. Overall, the company experienced a 10.3 percent decline in net operating income.

The company credited “strong revenue growth at CareerBuilder,” its job-hunting website, for the strong digital results.

Gannett noted that it is exploring “the possible printing of the Cincinnati Enquirer and the Kentucky Enquirer at the Columbus (Dispatch) printing facilities. … If this agreement is reached, the company will incur charges for the partial withdrawal from multi-employer pension plans which will be negotiated with the representatives of those pension plans. The company will also incur severance-related costs for the reduction of its work force in Cincinnati.”
