Denis O'Brien, the owner of a 26.1% stake in Independent News & Media, has called on the company once again to sell The Independent and its Sunday stablemate. He argues that the titles should be sold for a nominal fee "in the same way as the Evening Standard".
O'Brien said he was committed to INM for the long term, but said the board should be cut from 17 to six and the international advisory board should be axed. Asked if he is interested in buying the Indy and Sindy, he said: "No one knows what I'm going to do." (Via Daily Telegraph)
