Mar 3, 2010 Object, news, video

The Best M&A Deals of the Decade
The past decade has certainly been tumultuous for mergers and acquisitions. As we went into the new millennium, the U.S. economy hit the peak of the dot-com bubble and M&A activity reached $1.2 trillion. Of course, this is when Time-Warner (TWX) agreed to a whopping $182 billion merger with the now-independent-again AOL (AOL).

Top publishers link arms in e-reader push
Filed under: Technology, Media, Time Warner, News Corp.
An existential crisis, like politics, makes for strange bedfellows. So it is that five media companies that spend most of their time in bitter competition with one another are now joining forces in a new venture intended to midwife the arrival of portable digital magazines and newspapers on a mass scale.
So new is this venture, it doesn’t yet have a name or an executive team. What it does have is five owners who collectively represent most of the magazines and a goodly segment of the newspapers Americans read: News Corp. (NWS), Time Warner (TWX), Hearst, Conde Nast and Meredith (MDP). Marshaling so much muscle might seem like overkill, but it’s in keeping with the scale of the challenge, John Squires, who’s serving as managing director until a CEO can be chosen, tells DailyFinance. “It’s a huge undertaking, both technically and from a creative standpoint,” he says.

Has Time Warner climbed out of its funk?
Filed under: Company News, Earnings
Time Warner Inc. (TWX), the world’s largest media conglomerate, has good news and bad news for investors. The good news is that it expects to meet its 2009 earnings targets. The bad news is that the results of the New York-based company were still lackluster.
Net income at the parent company of Warner Bros. film studios and CNN fell 34 percent to $519 million, or 43 cents a share, compared with $792 million, or 47 cents, a year ago. Revenue plunged 9 percent to $6.8 billion. On an adjusted basis, earnings topped the 45-cent average estimate of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. Shares of Time Warner, which have climbed more than 24 percent over the past three months, have not begun trading yet in pre-market action.

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch is shooting down speculation that he is interested in acquiring his nemesis The New York Times Co. (NYT).
Speaking to TheStreet.com, the News Corp. (NWS) Chief Executive Rupert Murdoch denied reports by Vanity Fair’s Michael Wolff that he covets what he views as the symbol of liberal mainstream media.
