John Foreman, president and publisher of the daily Champaign Urbana News Gazette, says rumors of the newspaper's death are way premature. He says the papers which died in Seattle, Denver and elsewhere were merely the weakest links; and bankruptcies have been filed by investors who paid too much for papers using debt. Most papers are profitable and stable, he says.
