Sandy Schwartz, president of Cox Newspapers, wrote a memo to publishers of other Cox Ent. papers, PaidContent.Org reported.

"We have no expectations newspapers will return to the highly profitable days of the past; we do believe, however, we can publish newspapers that continue to make us proud and produce positive earnings."

In the memo, publisher of Atlanta Journal Constitution, John Mellott, added:

"Our AJC 2.0 efforts are in final prototyping stages. Our digital traffic continues to climb, and this week, we begin overarching digital strategy work."
