| Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
| SEGMENTS | SEGMENTS We operate as a single operating and reportable segment. The Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) serves as our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and is responsible for evaluating financial performance and allocating resources. The CODM reviews financial information and makes operating decisions on a consolidated basis. Our operations are organized into Strategic Business Units (“SBUs”) based on market. The SBU’s generally include one or more daily newspapers, several nondaily publications as well as the related digital operations. SBUs are internal, location-based operating components used for management purposes and do not represent separate operating or reportable segments. Separate operating results for each SBU are not reviewed by the CODM when assessing performance or making operating decisions. The CODM reviews our consolidated statements of (loss) income and balance sheets on a monthly basis and makes key decisions regarding resource allocation, including operating expenses and capital expenditures, primarily focusing on consolidated net (loss) income and consolidated total assets. These consolidated statements are used by the CODM to monitor budget versus actual results and evaluate the return on assets. Significant segment expenses are separately disclosed and presented in the Consolidated Statements of Loss (Income) and Comprehensive Loss (Income). The measure of segment assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Total Assets. The accounting policies of our operating segment are the same as those described in Note 1.
