Eisner Not in Running to Head Tribune... Maybe
All those reports that the Tribune Co.’s new boss would soon be Michael Eisner, if the company can ever get out of its bankruptcy proceedings, might have been premature. Eisner, of course, has continually downplayed the idea, but other whispers kept the story alive. Now, Forbes reports that the issue of who will helm the company once it has exited bankruptcy has yet to even been discussed.
And a big reason why Tribune, which owns the Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times among other titles, hasn’t discussed the future head of the company? Because no one knows who will actually own the company.
