Titles Up For Grabs

John Paton Digital Media's Chief Executive 
Claims that he is confident that buyers will
appear. In a recent article by Christine
Haughney in The New York Times, the man 
responsible for supervising 75 newsrooms
was quoted as saying: 
=" The news information industry in America is 
undergoing a period of seismic change, defined 
by the need to consolidate to rapidly compete in 
a digital world. 
=The companies that will succeed are those which 
have meaningful scale and digital expertise. 
=It seems smart to take a look at what the future 
 might look like."
