Regan may quit if Murdoch tightens her reins

A Newsweek article claims that Judith Regan, the HarperCollins executive behind the scandalous OJ Simpson book, enjoyed unprecedented autonomy within Rupert Murdoch's global media empire. Until now, the loose reins paid off because Regan delivered a string of out-of-left-field hits and returned annual revenues of $120m (£62m). But her freedom is almost certainly over, and her projects will come under intense scrutiny, according to News Corp insiders. But restraints on Regan's style could prompt her to quit. (Via Newsweek)
