Stock | In a bad market week, NYT fared worse

[NYT in blue vs. S&P-500 index in red; click image for bigger view]

Shares in the New York Times Co. plunged 11% during the past five trading days, more than twice as much as the 5% decline by the S&P-500 index, a widely watched barometer of broad stock market activity. Shares of major newspaper publishers I watch, with their change over the last five trading days, based on today's just-reported closing prices:

• Gannett: down 5%
• News Corp.: down 7%
• New York Times Co.: down 11%
• Dow Jones Industrial Average: down 5%
• S&P-500: down 5%
