Hollinger International

Hollinger International is a newspaper group. Thirty percent (and 78% of the voting share) of the group is owned by Hollinger Inc. - an 84% controlling stake is owned by Conrad Black through his Ravelston Corporation. He attempted to sell this stake to the Barclay brothers in January 2004 and the brothers launched a takeover bid for the rest of Hollinger International. However the sale was blocked by a judge in the United States after the company's board lodged a court action against the sale. The Barclay brothers later bought The Telegraph Group which included The Daily Telegraph, The Sunday Telegraph, and The Spectator.

Assets of Hollinger International now include:

The group also owns various minor newspapers in Canada and the United States.
