U.K. Johnston Press for sale


The U.K.’s Johnston Press is for sale and may have a buyer in Norwegian entrepreneur Christen Ager-Hanssen.
The company is one of the biggest newspaper organizations in the U.K., publishing papers including the “I,” The Scotsman and the Yorkshire Post. 
It has been struggling with £220m in debt (around $285 million).
Ager-Hanssen’s private equity firm Custos has raised its shareholding from about 20 percent to more than 25 percent, the BBC reports. 
Ager-Hanssen has strongly criticized the board’s management, saying the board has done "nothing more than rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic."
