Time for bidders to take a good hard look at The Mirror

Article Abstract:

Regional newspaper group Trinity is currently considering whether it is prepared to dispose of The Belfast Telegraph and three other Northern Irish newspapers in order to go ahead with its plans to purchase Mirror Group. It has also come to light that former Mirror Group Chief Executive David Montgomery is negotiating with venture capital financiers about raising funds to purchase the company. It is rumoured that his bid may join up with that of Regional Independent Media, due to his friendship with Chris Oakley, head of Regional Independent Media.

Tabloids sniff out an easy way to make a splash

Article Abstract:

It has become extremely common for tabloid newspapers in the UK to devote a great deal of space to stories about minor celebrities caught taking drugs. Most recently, it has been reported that Tom Parker Bowles, godson of the Prince of Wales, has taken cocaine. It is very easy for newspapers to produce such stories, as in many cases they are informed by a friend of the celebrity concerned. It is possible that tabloid newspapers are beginning to focus on drugs because stories about infidelity are losing their appeal.
