Journal Register Company profile and media properties
John Paton is the CEO of Journal Register Company.
The Journal Register Company publishes local newspapers and magazines throughout the northeast and midwest United States. The company faced severe financial troubles for several years, resulting in a bankruptcy filing in February 2009.
Prior to filing for bankruptcy, the company shut down many of its small circulation newspapers in Connecticut, Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania.
The company publishes the New Haven Register in Connecticut and The Oakland Press, the third-largest daily in metropolitan Detroit. However, most JRC newspapers are small circulation newspapers serving small markets.
With about 200 non-daily publications, Journal Register newspapers are located in six geographic clusters: Greater Philadelphia, Michigan, Connecticut, Greater Cleveland, and in New York State’s Capital-Saratoga and Mid-Hudson regions.
Journal Register was a public company that experienced rapid decline. Company stock had traded at near $20 in September 2005, but in September 2008 a share of JRC stock traded below one cent, closing at $0.005. The stock was traded on the New York Stock Exchange until the exchange delisted it on April 16, 2008. Until the company declared bankruptcy in February 2009 (see below), company stock traded on the pink sheets.
On February 21, 2009, the Journal Register Company filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The reorganization plan submitted by the company reduced it's debt and cancelled its stock, and Journal Register became a closely held company controlled by its lenders.
The Journal Register Company emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on August 7, 2009, and is now privately controlled.

Why is it that we go over to Iraq and Afganistan, we protect the United States from threats both foreign and domestic but police officers pull up to a burger king and get 50% discount and I ask for one and they say no. I even show them my ID. Its not just burger king but almost everywhere. Lowes and Home Depot support us by giving military discount all year round and on memorial day and extra discount. What the hell is wrong with these money hungry companies. I think an article should be done on this topic. | |

Hello. My wife and I bought our house about 6 months ago. It was a foreclosure and we were able to get a great deal on it. We also took advantage of the 8K tax credit so that definitely helped. We did an extensive remodeling job and now I want to refinance to cut the term to a 20 or 15 year loan. Does anyone know any good sites for mortgage information? Thanks! | |

I keep listening to the news speak about getting free online grant applications so I have been looking around for the best site to get one. | |
