Gannett may put Newsquest chain up for sale

Now here's a surprise - it's believed that the US media giant, Gannett, is about to put its British regional chain, Newsquest, on the block. That's unexpected, given that Northcliffe couldn't find a buyer and the belief that Trinity Mirror can't find one either (see posting immediately below). But the report - admittedly, only in the Sunday Express - suggests Gannett will attempt to get $2.9bn (£1.5bn) ) for Newsquest, which publishes 219 titles, including the Glasgow Herald.
