	us-gaap	Use Of Estimates UseOfEstimates	The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted, and will continue to result, in significant economic disruption and will likely continue to adversely affect our business. The impact of COVID-19 (including variants) and the extent of its adverse impact on our financial and operating results will be dictated by the length of time that the pandemic continues to affect our advertising customers.We use the best information available in developing significant estimates inherent in our financial statements, including potential impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and these differences resulting from changes in facts and circumstances could be material. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, evaluation of goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment, business combinations, fair value measurements, post-retirement benefit plans, income taxes including deferred taxes, and contingencies.
