Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

Morris Publishing expects that it will repay approximately $73 million of its Tranche A Term Loan under its senior credit facilities, following the closing of the transaction, and another $7 million upon receipt of payment on the $10 million note from GateHouse. Morris Publishing does not expect the transaction to result in a significant change in its cash flow ratio under its senior credit facilities or its consolidated leverage ratio under its indenture related to the senior subordinated notes.

Total net operating revenue for the publications and businesses sold to GateHouse was $71.3 million for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2006 and $33.5 million and $35.6 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
