Lee Enterprises stabilizes finances with $50M investment led by billionaire David Hoffmann

Lee Enterprises announced a compromise Tuesday with billionaire investor David Hoffmann, who offered to take over the nation's third-largest newspaper chain this year, to help stabilize the company's finances with a $50 million investment and set Lee up for the future. Hoffmann, whose family investment firm already owns more than 40 other publications, will become Lee's chairman as he continues to pursue his goal of becoming the country's largest newspaper publisher. Lee said that when Hoffmann takes over, CEO Kevin Mowbray will retire after 39 years with the Davenport, Iowa-based company, which owns the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Buffalo News, Omaha World-Herald and dozens of other publications in 25 states.
