Nutter Concerned, Rendell Disappointed

by KYW's Mike Dunn

Among those voicing concern with the outcome of the newspaper auction is Mayor Nutter, who hopes the new owners don't put the bottom line above good journalism.

Mayor Nutter says he doesn't know the new owners -- as he put it -- "from a can of paint," though he would welcome a meeting with them. His two concerns are that the new owners are not Philadelphians, and that they may be more focused on profit margins than solid reporting:

"It certainly is my hope that after they get out of bankruptcy court and dealing with financiers, lawyers, etc. etc., that real newspaper people take a look at what the assets are here."
