A few weeks ago Ken Doctor of Politico reported that a deal between Gannett and Tronc(formerly Tribune publishing and owner of the Hartford Courant) was “imminent.” That led to lots of stories from other sources quoting the original Politico report and claiming the sale to Gannett was imminent.
They were all wrong on the timing, but Doctor is now reporting the deal is essentially done and this week could be pivotal. Now – it appears likely a deal will be announced “soon,” once the paperwork is done.
