L.A. Times owner intends to take newspaper public in coming year
The owner of the Los Angeles Times said Monday he would 'take the paper public' in the next year. In an interview on 'The Daily Show With Jon Stewart,' Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong said the move would allow The Times 'to be democratized and allow the public to have ownership of this paper.' He did not provide specifics about how the deal would work or whether it would involve an initial public offer to sell shares of the company or some other type of investment arrangement. 'Whether you're right, left, Democrat, Republican, you're an American. So the opportunity for us to provide a paper that is the voices of the people, truly the voices of the people' in important, Soon-Shiong told Stewart. 'We think over the next year we will. I'm working through [that] with an organization that's putting that together right now,' he added. Soon-Shiong built his fortune through pioneering pharmaceutical and biotech ventures, including cancer treatments. In 2018, he purchased the L.A. Times, the San Diego Union-Tribune and several community newspapers in a $500-million deal. The sale returned The Times to local control after a turbulent 18 years of ownership by Chicago-based Tronc. In 2023, he sold the San Diego Union-Tribune to MediaNews Group.

Korea Presidential Aide Pushes for Gradual Corporate Stock Plan
The South Korean president's push to cancel listed companies' treasury stock purchases will strengthen corporate governance but should be phased in to prevent market disruption, a senior aide said. The proposal is part of a broader set of initiatives by President Lee Jae Myung — backed by lawmakers in his Democratic Party, which holds a legislative majority — to bolster the local stock market they view as undervalued compared to regional peers.

Read: Senators raise alarm over Delta's AI pricing plan
Three Democratic senators wrote to Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian Monday to raise concerns about company plans to use AI to set individualized fares, which the airline maintains won't target customers with offers based on personal details. Why it matters: Sens. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) wrote that Delta's personalized "current and planned individualized pricing practices" would present data privacy concerns and "likely mean" fare price rises "up to each individual consumer's personal 'pain point'" at a time when many families were struggling. Zoom in: "Consumers have no way of knowing what data and personal information your company and Fetcherr plan to collect or how the AI algorithm will be trained," wrote the senators, in reference to the Israeli company that developed a Generative Pricing Engine tool. "Prices could be dictated not by supply and demand, but by individual need," they added. "While Delta has stated that the airline will 'maintain strict safeguards to ensure compliance with federal law,' your company has not shared what those safeguards are or how you plan to protect American families against pricing discrimination in the evolving AI landscape." What they're saying:"There is no fare product Delta has ever used, is testing, or plans to use that targets customers with individualized offers based on personal information or otherwise," a Delta spokesperson said in an emailed statement late Monday. "A variety of market forces drive the dynamic pricing model that's been used in the global industry for decades, with new tech simply streamlining this process. Delta always complies with regulations around pricing and disclosures."
