Will Google buy the New York Times?

A daring prediction by venture capitalist John Ellis, who also writes for the Real Clear Politics website. He foresees a time not long off when the New York Times company - which has declined in value by 70% in the last five years - will be in play. That moment, he writes, will be when the market capitalisation falls below $2bn (£1.02bn). And the most likely buyer then will be Google. Read his argument. It makes some sense.
