A few weeks ago a number of stories popped up claiming a deal between Gannett and the former Tribune Publishing company (now Tronc) was “imminent.”

Meanwhile, the pedestrians of Chicago have noticed that Tronc is apparently getting out of the coin operated news box sales business.
Tronc owns the Hartford Courant.
Speaking of media mergers and acquisitions…
There is growing evidence that Nexstar is prowling its newly acquired television stations of Media General (including WTNH in New Haven) for ways to trim costs.
