Guardian Media Group is hopping mad with the Daily Telegraph for revealing its discussions with Trinity Mirror about a possible sale of the company’s regional newspapers. GMG has been stung by several aspects of the Telegraph’s story, including the allegation that the company is turning its back “on its heartland to keep the Guardian afloat”. [...]

In itself, GMG’s effort to sell its regional newspapers to Trinity Mirror isn’t surprising. The timing is interesting, though. Only a few weeks ago, sources at GMG played down the chances of selling off the Manchester Evening News in the near term. My assumption was that a sale would have to wait until economic recovery [...]
