\nA story in today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Wall Street Journal says Rupert Murdoch \u00e2\u20ac\u0153has long eyed titles such as the Los Angeles Times, whose parent company, Tribune Co., is due to emerge from bankruptcy in coming months.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d But Murdoch tells his paper that an LAT deal would have to be looked at \u00e2\u20ac\u0153closely\u00e2\u20ac\u009d because of regulatory restrictions, among other things.<\/p>\n

\"\"He also told<\/a> CNBC\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s David Faber that he might change the Wall Street Journal\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s name to simply WSJ. (The Journal\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Charles Forelle tweeted the news<\/a> and got this reaction from followers: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Say it isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t so!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d)<\/p>\n

In the New York Times, Amy Chozik writes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

When asked by analysts about his papers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 future, Mr. Murdoch replied: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The answer is one word: digital.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d He said the new company would double down on its digital efforts and that news was \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the most valuable commodity in the world\u00e2\u20ac\u009d even if \u00e2\u20ac\u0153people are buying fewer papers printed on crushed wood.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Murdoch also said on CNBC that \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll head the [News Corp.] board until they bury me.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d The 81-year-old media mogul added: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not saying that day is any time soon. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m in great shape, and, obviously, if I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m lucky enough to live a long time, a very long time, there will be a time when I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll slow down mentally, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have to get out.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n
