That makes the bank Gannett's biggest shareholder, and when the market noted the acquisition the company's shares were boosted by 7% in rapid trading.
What does JP Morgan know that others don't? It has increased its holdings in slumping newspapers during a period when many publishers can see no real upturn in revenue. Source: Crains
