Gannett, NYT moves in Detroit, Boston reviewed by antitrust enforcers
Gannett Co. planned to acquire Hometown Communications, Inc. which competitors say could lead to diminished competition in the suburban markets of Detroit and Cincinnati. The New York Times invested in its local newspaper rival, Metro Boston. The Boston Herald complained that this type of action would hurt readers and advertisers alike in the Boston area, as well as violate a legal standard used to measure market consolidation. The plans by both newspapers were under investigation by federal anti-trust enforcers. (Originally reported by the Wall Street Journal's John R. Wilke and James Bandler on Jan. 24, 2005)
