DOJ v PRH: Agents, Publishers Move Center Stage - Publishers Weekly

Today, Panzer has your daily update on Publishers Weekly's coverage of the Department of Justice's (DOJ) court case to stop the merger of Penguin Random House (PRH) and Simon and Schuster (S&S).

 

I need a nap after all that.

According to the post by Bethanne Patrick, five witnesses were called to testify today. The testimony for the DOJ was first provided by economist Dr. Nicholas Hill. He was followed by agent Christy Fletcher. When she finished, the government rested it's case and the PRH defense began. Their first testimony came from agent Jennifer Rudolph Walsh. The next testimony came from Gallery Books publisher Jennifer Bergstrom. She was followed by W.W. Norton and Co. editor-in-chief John Glusman.

 

Panzer says, " You'll have to go read the post to learn what they all said."

 

Note: This is a very, very long post. Bring a thermos of iced tea, a muffin and a brownie for today's reading selection.
