Free Times Says Local Daily Buried Antitrust Story
The national media "repeatedly scooped" The Plain Dealer on the New Times-Village Voice Media antitrust story that was brewing "in its own backyard," says Free Times' Michael Gill."I didn't have any trouble selling (the story) upper right on the front page of the business section on a Monday," the New York Times' David Carr tells Gill, "and that's tough space to get." Commenting on the government's role in the antitrust investigation that led to the story, Carr also says, "I wish they'd aim that gun at some bigger game."
