8+ hour, 6+ min ago (309+ words) Deal gives Daily Mail and General Trust more than 50% of circulation in the UK newspaper market "The Lords of England have stopped the barbarians at the gate of The Telegraph," said Due Diligence in the Financial Times.

When Gerry Cardinale's RedBird Capital withdrew earlier this month, it cleared the way for Rothermere to pounce. It's not clear how DMGT (which also owns Metro and The i Paper) will fund the deal, which will give it more than 50% of circulation in the UK newspaper market, said Dominic Ponsford in Press Gazette. But given that newspapers are "a far smaller part of the media than…...
