Rupert Murdoch's Weekly Papers Move To Downtown Brooklyn
NY Observer
by Dana Rubinstein
Rupert Murdoch will consolidate the offices of his chain of weekly newspapers into one 18,000-square-foot space in Bruce Ratner's One Metrotech Center, the 24-story Class A building at 70 Myrtle Avenue, according to an annoucement released this morning.
The group of newspapers, called, appropriately enough, the Community Newspaper Group, includes the Bronx Times Reporter, as well as two chains -- TimesLedger and Courier-Life -- that Mr. Murdoch bought in 2006 for a rumored $16 million.
NoLandGrab: Judging by the Courier-Life's coverage of Atlantic Yards, we'd have guessed they were already tenants of Bruce Ratner.
