Eric Kallgren Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 12:41pm on Monday, March 23rd, 2009 | March 10, 2009: John Koblin of the New York Observer reported that News Corporation is buying The Brooklyn Paper:
"It’s not the first time Rupert Murdoch has come knocking at the doors of The Brooklyn Paper, the Brooklyn newspaper chain that covers Brooklyn from Bay Ridge to Greenpoint.
But it is the first time the independent news outfit’s founder and owner of 31 years, Ed Weintrob, felt inclined to listen.
As we reported first on Observer.com March 10, Mr. Murdoch’s News Corp. has completed a deal to buy Mr. Weintrob’s baby for an undisclosed amount; an official announcement is scheduled for later this week.
Mr. Weintrob told The Observer he thought Mr. Murdoch was the right man for the job.
“I’ve told my staff in the past that people say all kinds of things about Rupert and his journalism, but you’re dealing with the last man standing who believes in newspapers,” he said in a telephone interview from his Brooklyn Heights apartment."
