The Media Drop

Sometimes it kind of bugs me that I link to the free articles in the WSJ so much, but maybe it shows how valuable of a publication that newspaper is. In any case, here’s the latest. Sarah Ellison and Dennis Berman have the lowdown on what is up with Tribune Co., and they inform that the company might not get sold to an outside bidder after all, and is looking to put the sand back in its own sandbox.

All in all, that isn’t to say that nothing will be broken out, as the Journal reports that some portions, including broadcast, could be “spun off” to enable focused management of the print division. For Tribune’s sake, that will hopefully include its long-term Internet and mobile interests, because we know how profitable print can be these days.
