Murdoch follow-up

The Boston Globe’s Steve Bailey has a squib at the end of his column today following up his Wednesday piece on the possibility that former Boston Herald owner Rupert Murdoch might sign a printing deal with the Globe for a local edition of his New York Post. Current Herald owner Pat Purcell, who once worked for Murdoch, has told his employees that Murdoch actually explored a printing deal with the Herald first, but the Herald lacked sufficient press capacity.
