11 Percent of Top 100 Papers in Bankruptcy

An elaborate interactive map has been generated by The Wall Street Journal to "track events at the top 50 newspapers." Be sure to both mouse over the map highlights, and to use the timeline bar above the map to review changes by year.

Also, notice the clusters around the nation's biggest cities.

(The New York Times created a similar map about a month ago, but it was not interactive.)

In addition, a list of "adverse events" at the nation's top 100 newspapers was created by The Wall Street Journal. It includes a column denoting which papers are in bankruptcy. The result — 11 percent.

The bankruptcy roll call from The Wall Street Journal:

1. Los Angeles Times

2. Chicago Tribune

3. Philadelphia Inquirer

4. Star-Tribune - Minneapolis

5. The Chicago Sun-Times

6. The Sun - Baltimore, Md

7. The Orlando Sentinel

8. South Florida Sun Sentinel

9. The Hartford Courant

10. Morning Call - Allentown, Pa.

11. Philadelphia Daily News
