Sharon Waxman reports that one of the private equity firms that owns the Nielsen Company floated the idea of a Hollywood Reporter purchase by the New York Times at a Times board meeting this week. "But that doesn't sound like the right fit to me," she writes. "The New York Times is not in the business-to-business business. And I'm not sure why a big media company saddled with a core print business would take on more dead-tree properties."
