Abstract: Hollinger International, the publishing division of Hollinger Inc., is an organisation based in USA that owns many newspapers. Lord Conrad Black (Black) was the Chairman and Chief Executive of Hollinger International who along with his friend David F Radler controlled the Hollinger Inc.'s operations through Ravelston, their private equity vehicle. In the year 2003, Tweedy Browne Co., a New York-based investment firm approached the Securities Exchange Commission to conduct a corporate governance review of Hollinger International. Black was forced to resign in November 2003. The report accused Black and his associates of robbing the company of millions of dollars. The final outcome of the Hollinger case is far from decided. |
