Owners are considering offers for The European
Article Abstract:
The European's owners, David and Frederick Barclay, are contemplating the sale of the losing weekly magazine. The Barclay brothers, also the owners of the Ritz Hotel in London, UK, acquired the magazine in the early 1990s after the breakup of Robert Maxwell's media businesses. Bloomberg News of New York has been alluded to as one of the probable buyers for the magazine, although Bert Hardy, a former executive of Associated Newspapers who operates the business side of The European, added that no direct contact has occurred between the firms.
