Some details from Gannett’s (NYSE: GCI) 10-K filed with the SEC:

– Acquisitions and investments: In 2007, Gannett acquired student newspaper Central Florida Future and a publisher of weekly shoppers Central Ohio Advertiser Network. It also took a majority stake in Schedule Star, the parent of HighSchoolSports.net, while making an investment in Metromix LLC, its joint venture with Tribune, as well as the aforementioned Uloop. Altogether, the company spent $30.6 million on its acquisitions and $40 million on investments.
