Acquisitions

Whenever a big corporation buys a company or brand, the newspapers make a terrible fuss, like it is the deal of the year. It is no surprise then if for the sale of Dow Jones & Co. to Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. the New York Times, New York Daily News and The Wall Street Journal offered Page One coverage. The only thing that raises questions is why the Post, Murdoch's only U.S. daily, would write about the deal only at the business column. Due to the fact that they represent one of the contractors, they should have advertised it even more. The main reason in my opinion is that the deal wasn't as important as everyone else tried to make it and the fact that Dow Jones & Co will be folded into the global reach of News Corp, according to Paul Tharp and Peter Lauria, the authors of the Post article. Once the new acquisition will be incorporated, there is no other reason to advertise it and then it would have been like they show off if they make a big fuss over the entire deal. However, when the secrecy is too on the open, it must be something going that the Post owners don't want to reveal. Until someone decides to go public on the secrets of the contract and its terms, all we will have is the supposition and a big ability to create theories of what lies behind the curtains.
