A season to believe in miracles ... Newsrooms will hire again!

So sayeth E.W. Scripps' CEO Rich Boehne in address at the annual UBS Conference. Boehne described current news offerings as suffering from "a plague of sameness," (McNews, anyone?) and asserts that better quality can broaden the audience. Scripps, which owns 10 stations, is hoping it will be the beneficiary from "a great consolidation opportunity" as weaker competing news stations drop out.

'Tis the season to be cheery as more competition fails.
