Baltimore Sun Parent Doesn’t Rule Out Sale

The chief executive of the Baltimore Sun’s parent company declined to specify whether the newspaper was being considered for sale as part of an assessment of restructuring moves, but he said, “All options are on the table.”

“We’re looking at this on an entire company basis, and it just may not be possible to determine what’s best for any one part of the company without first determining what’s best for the whole company,” Tribune Co. CEO Dennis J. FitzSimons said.

In an interview at the Sun’s offices, before an off-the-record meeting with employees, FitzSimons said he wasn’t aware of anyone contacting Tribune to express interest in buying the Sun.
