Excerpt:
Hearst Corporation owns 31% of MediaNews publications outside the San Francisco Bay area. Form 10-Q
In 2004, MediaNews Group acquired the York Daily Record, a 45,000 circulation morning paper in York, Pennsylvania.
On January 16, 2010, the Associated Press reported that Affiliated Media, parent of MediaNews will file Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Under the plan, company debt would fall to $165 million from about $930 million. Senior lenders would swap debt for stock. It came out of bankruptcy in March 2010 under the majority ownership of its lenders.[5] The MediaNews creditors then removed Media News president Joseph Lodovic and its chairman, William Dean Singleton, was reassigned to the position of “executive chairman of the board." The Singleton-Lodovic appointees to the MediaNews board were replaced by new directors representing the stockholders group led by Alden Global Capital, a hedge fund firm which has acquired a large, though not controlling, stake. Several interim executive positions were also filled by people related to Alden or its parent, Smith Management LLC.[6]

Excerpt:
Although still shy of making the top 10, BlackRock's purchase of Barclay's Global Investors resulted in an instant 235.63% increase in assets for the firm. However, the biggest gainer was distressed debt market manager Randall Smith's firm Alden Global Capital, which amassed an increase of 475% on top of its January 2009 assets of $400 million to reach $2.3 billion. Distressed funds were among the biggest winners, as distressed was one of the hottest strategies of 2009.
