Abstract

WANT to buy a newspaper company? No? You're in good company. The Chicago Sun-Times is the kind of trophy that once appealed to deep-pocketed buyers. It has a big audience in a big market, a storied name, and stars like Roger Ebert and Robert Novak. The Sun-Times Media Group, owner of the flagship paper and dozens of smaller suburban papers, said in February that it wanted to sell assets or maybe the entire company. The chief executive, Cyrus F. Freidheim Jr., said May 8 that ''a large number of parties'' had asked to see the books, and that the company expected to field offers by the end of that month. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
