Zell: No intentions, no plans to sell papers

Maria Bartiromo writes on BusinessWeek.com about her April 6th interview with Zell before he headed off to his dinner with Geffen. He told her the dinner had "nothing to do with the L.A. Times" and he has "no intention of selling the L.A. Times. Period. End of speech." And no plans for Baltimore or NY to local groups either.

He also told her he's "perfectly happy to have the newsrooms continue to do what they've been doing and maybe do it better."

Read the whole interview. (Not sure what to make of the dateline. Must be a typo.)
