Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. denied
it has held talks to acquire the Los Angeles Times or Chicago
Tribune once the newspapers’ owner, Tribune Co., emerges from
bankruptcy.
“Reports that News Corp. is in discussions with Tribune or
the L.A. Times are wholly inaccurate,” Julie Henderson, a
spokeswoman for the New York-based media company, said yesterday
in an e-mailed statement. The denial encompasses reported talks
with Tribune’s creditors, News Corp. said.
