Clarity Media, the US free newspaper company owned by Philip Anschutz, has denied bidding for Metro International’s US titles in Boston, New York and Philadelphia.
“Our people responded [to a sales offer for the papers] that they weren’t interested,” a spokesman told the Denver Business Journal (via Piet Bakker’s Newspaper Innovation).
Last Friday, a Boston newspaper reported that Metro’s three US titles were being sold and that Clarity was one potential bidder.
