Stock | Newspaper shares now in broad selloff

Updated at 4:14 p.m., with closing prices: Following a strong year-to-date rally, newspaper stocks were down sharply today, with several companies faring worse than broader stock market indexes. Companies I follow, with closing prices moments ago:

• Gannett: $16.40, down 5%
• New York Times Co.: $13.86, down 6%
• News Corp.: $15.89, down 4%

Compare that with the Dow Jones Industrial Average, off less than 1%, and the S&P 500, down 1%.
