Warren Buffet had a famous saying about when to sell or buy a company: “Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful.”
It is a very turbulent time for our industry as more legacy brands are being bought and sold, in various sized markets across the country. The question on most minds is: are these buyers being shrewd or simply “rolling the dice” in hopes of future better business climates for the local news publisher? Moreover, what is the real value today of a local newspaper brand?
During the Mega-Conference, Mike Blinder, publisher of Editor & Publisher Magazine, will host a panel of some of the industry’s most respected media brokers who will offer the latest insights into the current buy/sell environment.
Panelists are:
Sara April, partner at Dirks, Van Essen & April
John Thomas Cribb, director of Cribb, Cope & Potts
