Transcontinental Reports Q3 Results

http://www.piworld.com/article/transcontinentals-adjusted-operating-income-increases-for-4th-consecutive-quarter/1
Transcontinental's third-quarter revenues decreased from $517.0 million in 2012 to $493.8 million in 2013, mainly due to the end of the contract to print and distribute Zellers flyers after its store closures. Other factors were the change in the format and type of paper used by some of its major customers, difficult market conditions affecting its magazine, book and catalogue printing business, and a soft advertising market which continued to impact its Media Sector, particularly with respect to local markets. The decrease was partially offset by new printing contracts, higher volume in educational book publishing and the acquisitions of Modulo and Redux Media, among others.

http://adage.com/article/media/time-s-executive-suite-ideas-die/244111/
New Time Inc. CEO Joe Ripp told roughly 300 employees at a town hall-style meeting Wednesday that the company's executive suite has been a place "where ideas go to die," according to staffers who were present. 
"If I have my way I'm going to close that damn thing down," Mr. Ripp said, addressing an audience of managers and executives. 
The company, the publisher of magazines such as People and Sports Illustrated, is keenly looking to
Mr. Ripp for clues to its uncertain future. Parent company Time Warner plans to spin Time Inc. off into an independent company early next year, and Mr. Ripp last week became the third Time Inc. CEO in three years.

'We're not a magazine company, we're a media company' By Lucia Moses
Incoming Time Inc. CEO Joe Ripp rallied the troops at his first meeting for top execs, saying they need to be empowered and work efficiently for the company to succeed once it spins off from Time Warner.

“We can’t really consider ourselves a magazine company anymore,” he said at the quarterly management meeting, according to people present. “We’re a media company. If you’re People magazine, your competition is Facebook, Twitter.”

There were no big announcements, but Ripp fielded questions from Fortune managing editor Andy Serwer, then the audience, on a range of topics from acquisitions, compensation and church-state issues.
