Devoted to branding and building and protecting brands

And it's not a death-watch.  In the doom-and-gloom that is the world of newsprint today, it’s encouraging to see some rays of sunshine.  You can read all about it in this piece detailing the corners of the newspaper world where investors see skies of blue, if not the sky being the limit.  This isn't to say that there's a surplus of hope for the printed variety but hope of any kind for local dailies is welcome news, pun intended.  Roll call:  

The Star-Tribune and Pioneer Press (Minneapolis-St. Paul)
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Roanoke Times
The Daytona Beach News-Journal
The Palm Beach Post
The E.W. Scripps Texas Papers (Abilene, Corpus Christi, San Angelo, Witchita Falls)
Orlando Sentinel

We’ll be watching.
