DigitalJoyeux Noel (Potentially?): Hearst / Hachette Talks ContinueBy Alex Alvarez|December 14, 2010 ShareBy Alex Alvarez|December 14, 2010 Share The (long-rumored) talks between Hearst and HFMUS continue, with Adweek reporting that Steve Parr, the president and CEO of the France-based Lagadère Active U.S. branch has been spotted visiting the Hearst building, and that further meetings between higher-ups at both companies have been scheduled for the coming weeks, making for a busy and, possibly, productive Noel on both sides of the Atlantic.One of the more important talking points, evidently, is whether Hearst will be willing and able to seamlessly fold HFMUS-owned titles like Elle and Car & Driver into its current stable of titles.
