BREAKING NEWS & VIEWS
Lagardère: ‘No Timetable’ for Magazine SalesMonday, December 27, 2010 Responding to persistent rumors that French media company Lagardère was about to sell some its international titles (reportedly to Hearst), the publisher sent Reuters word before Christmas that the deals were not imminent. Lagardère’s U.S. holdings include Elle and Car and Driver. “Rumors of an imminent sale of the international magazine portfolio appear to be coming from anonymous sources which do not seem familiar with the reality of the dossier,” the statement said.
