Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Note 14: Subsequent Events The Company evaluates subsequent events at the date of the consolidated balance sheet as well as conditions that arise after the balance sheet date but before the consolidated financial statements are issued. To the extent any events and conditions exist, disclosures are made regarding the nature of events and the estimated financial effects for those events and conditions. The Company re-evaluated subsequent events in connection with the restatement and reissuance of these financial statements for events which arose since the previously issued consolidated financial statements were issued through the date these consolidated financial statements were reissued. The Company is not aware of any subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements other than those listed below. On April 1, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of Cubic, Inc. for a cash purchase price of $2,356, net of $213 cash acquired. The new entity Cubic Creative, Inc. is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma and has 25 employees. This acquisition adds creative strategy services, which will be complementary to service offerings currently available to A. H. Belo clients. The acquired operations will be included in the Marketing Services segment. Operating results of the business acquired will be included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations from the acquisition date forward. The Company does not expect the acquisition to be material to its financial position or results of operations. On May 17, 2019, the Company completed the sale of the real estate assets in downtown Dallas, Texas, previously used as the Company’s headquarters for a sale price of $28,000. The sale price consisted of $4,597 cash received, after selling costs of approximately $1,000, and a two-year seller-financed promissory note of $22,400. The sale provides the Company an additional $1,000 contingency payment if certain conditions are met, however at this time the Company does not believe these conditions are probable. These assets had a carrying value of $1,089, and were reported as assets held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Beginning in January 2020, there has been an outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19” or “virus”), which has been declared a “pandemic” by the World Health Organization. The full impact of COVID-19 is unknown and rapidly evolving. The outbreak and any preventative or protective actions that the Company or its customers may take in respect of this virus may result in a period of disruption, including the Company’s financial reporting capabilities, its operations generally and could potentially impact the Company’s customers, distribution partners, advertisers, production facilities, and third parties. Any resulting financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, but may materially affect the business and the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The extent to which the COVID-19 impacts the Company’s results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, among others.
