The owner of the Los Angeles Times, following a recent management shakeup, will still bid for the Register and The Press-Enterprise, Tribune Publishing’s new chief executive said Wednesday.
CEO Justin Dearborn told analysts on a conference call that the company still is actively working on a bid for the assets of Freedom Communications, which filed for bankruptcy protection in November. Freedom’s two newspapers and related assets will be sold in a court-supervised auction this month. But Dearborn noted that “there is a price where we would walk away” from the Freedom bidding.
Dearborn, a former health care industry executive, became Tribune CEO last week, replacing Jack Griffin, who was ousted in a boardroom coup orchestrated by Chicago investor Michael Ferro
