Rupert Murdoch and the Bancroft Family Meet to Discuss Merger
By Jane • Jun 4th, 2007 • Category: Publishing News • •The idea of Rupert Murdoch owning the Wall Street Journal is enough to put shivers down the back of any one in search of “fair and balanced” news but that reality might come sooner than we think. Rupert Murdoch is in talks with the Bancroft Family to have News Corp. (parent corporation of Harper Collins, Fox and the like) purchase Dow Jones & Company (parent corporation of The Wall Street Journal).

Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways.
She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!
