Zuckerman Submits Official Newsday Bid: Equals News Corp.'s Offer of $580 Million

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 18:53:46 PDT
As expected, Mort Zuckerman made an official bid of $580 million for Newsday, matching the same offer made by News Corp. (NYSE:NWS-A) and Rupert Murdoch. Zuckerman is the owner of the New York Daily News. The only reason I can see for a higher offer not being submitted, is the assumption Murdoch will run into regulatory problems, making a higher offer meaningless from Zuckerman's perspective. Of course that assumption isn't guaranteed to be what happens in the end. News Corp. has asserted they'
