Re: [doc] Business Age Magazine article on Chapman & DeLorean

Kevin,
Thanks for the information on the magazine. 
It appears as the receivers are on the way to BusinessAge too?

The BusinessAge (BA) magazine is not available here in the USA. In addition, 
I have never heard of the magazine or any of the journalists.

I have never heard of it until the former DMC executive sent me the email, 
which I sent to the list.

<< Business Age magazine has closed with the loss of 10 jobs.
The title, founded by Tom Rubython, failed to pay staff in November and will
cease publication from January.

Since its launch in 1992 Business Age has been through at least four
different owners.

Rubython sold the magazine to the Dutch publishing giant VNU in 1994 for
?3.2m.

It was closed down one year later only to be revived by businessman Owen
Oyston in 1996, who then sold it to Priori Media Group.

In May shares in the company were sold to two of its former directors, Ian
Richardson and Chris Butt, who had appointed himself the magazine's editor
in 1998, the Sunday Express reported.

The Sunday Express said Butt was hoping to set up a refinancing deal, but
added that if he was successful he would face ?200,000 in claims from
creditors.
