NA323-Russian tycoon wants to re-launch Murdoch’s News of the World

Russian banker and media tycoon Aleksandr Lebedev says he would like to remake Rupert Murdoch’s defunct News of the World if he is able to sell some of his assets, according to reports.

Lebedev, the owner of the London Evening Standard newspaper, wants to remake the News of the World under a different brand, the businessman told Bloomberg. He suggested “World News” as a new name.

“I wish, but I don’t think my pocket is deep enough at the moment, but if I’m able to sell any of my businesses, be it Aeroflot or banking, then I’m really very much interested,” according to reports Lebedev said in an interview in his office in Moscow.
