Apparently a deal is near to sell Philadelphia's newspapers- including the Inquirer, Daily News, and my paper, the Trend Leader- to a local group called Philadelphia Media Holdings, which is led by PR executive Brian Tierney. I don't know much about the guy or the group, but I like that they're local, and I like that it appears that they actually care about journalistic stewardship, and aren't beholden to Wall Street. But like I said, we don't know much yet.
