Acquisitions Investments and Dispositions [Abstract] |
Acquisitions and dispositions | Acquisitions and dispositions On December 29, 2014, we sold Gannett Healthcare Group (GHG) to OnCourse Learning, an online education and training provider. GHG is a leading provider of continuing education, certification test preparation, online recruitment, digital media, publications and related services for nurses and other healthcare professionals in the United States. In March 2015, CareerBuilder increased its controlling interest in Economic Modeling Specialists Intl. (EMSI) by 11% from 74% to 85%. EMSI is an economic software firm that specializes in employment data and labor market analysis. EMSI collects and interprets large amounts of labor data, which is used in work force development and talent strategy. In May 2015, Newsquest Media Group, a subsidiary of our former publishing businesses in the U.K, acquired Romanes Media Group, a local news publishing business operating in Scotland, Berkshire and Northern Ireland. In June 2015, our former publishing business completed the acquisition of the remaining 59.36% interest in the Texas-New Mexico Newspapers Partnership that it did not previously own from Digital First Media. The deal was completed through the assignment of our 19.49% interest in the California Newspapers Partnership and additional cash consideration. As a result, our former publishing business now owns 100% of the Texas-New Mexico Newspapers Partnership and no longer has any ownership interest in California Newspapers Partnership.
