ViacomCBS selling its CBS studio for $1.8 billion

ViacomCBS is selling its CBS Studio Center to real-estate firms Hackman Capital Partners and Square Mile Capital Management. The firms will buy the historic lot for $1.8 billion, which is $500 million higher than the projected price three months ago when it was put up for sale. The high demand for shows and movies has created a shortage of production studio space in Los Angeles, causing real estate prices to soar. Hackman and Square Mile have been buying up sound stages, office space, and other real estate tied to show biz throughout this year.

Geordie Greig ousted as editor of the Daily Mail

The Daily Mail’s parent company announced the removal editor Geordie Greig. The announcement came days after the promotion of Richard Caccappolo. Caccappolo has worked closely with the editor of the Daily Mail’s sister newspaper, MailOnline, and helped turn its website into a global success story. Ted Verity will replace Greig and have oversight of both titles. Many are wondering if these moves are hinting that the sister newspapers will soon be operating as a combined operation.

US journalist jailed for months in Myanmar lands in New York

American journalist Danny Fenster has returned to the United States after six months in jail in military-ruled Myanmar. Fenster was sentenced to 11 years of hard labor for spreading false or inflammatory information, contacting illegal organizations, and violating visa regulations. He is one of more than 100 journalists, media officials, or publishers who have been detained since the military ousted the elected government in February. Fenster told reporters that he was physically OK and had not been starved or beaten while in custody. He also said he hoped his story would help focus world attention on the suffering of the people of Myanmar.
