Not-so-Random Penguin
Oct. 27th, 2012 06:13 pmIn other news, it was interesting but not surprising, not particularly affecting, when Penguin and Random House announced that they were considering a merger. The next logical move in the relentless progress of megacorp publishing; I've been published by both, I'm currently in print with neither, sit back and watch.
Today's news changes that. Rupert Murdoch is poised to make an offer for Penguin. It may be just a spoiler for the RH deal, but if not - well. Suddenly megacorp dealings matter exceedingly. Run for the hills?
