The British government has initiated a review of the proposed deal that would put Jeff Zucker, the former president of CNN, in control of The Daily Telegraph and The Spectator, two prestigious London publications. RedBird IMI, an investment fund backed by Abu Dhabi, is involved in the potential takeover of The Telegraph, but the government has prohibited them from exerting influence on the newspaper during the probe. Lloyds bank retail shareholders are expected to benefit from the Telegraph deal. Concerns have been raised about potential censorship and foreign interference in the press due to the deal.
