Murdoch’s News Corp. Doesn’t Want N.Y. Daily News, Despite Report
Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. doesn’t want to buy the New York Daily News, despite a report that the media baron, who already owns the New York Post, wants to acquire a crosstown rival after almost a century of competition. “We have no interest whatsoever in the Daily News,” Jim Kennedy, a News Corp. spokesman, said in an email. Media analyst Ken Doctor, citing an unnamed source, reported Wednesday that Murdoch is looking to purchase the paper.
