Baltimore Sun
Jamie Smith Hopkins reports the
Abell Foundation -- started by the families that long owned the Sun -- is interested in joining with other Baltimore investors to buy the paper if a shareholder fight forces a sale. The foundation has called the Sun's owners once a year for about a decade to see if it was for sale, and the answer was always no. "I think it's important that the Sun be locally owned and be separate from a larger corporate conglomerate," says foundation president
Robert C. Embry Jr.
