Last week, when media conglomerate CanWest and the National Post filed for creditor protection, we were reminded of the deal that saw CanWest acquire the Post and other papers from Hollinger Inc. The deal was at the forefront of the prosecution of Hollinger executives, including media baron Conrad Black, and number two, David Radler. Radler, who co-operated with authorities, was convicted of a single count of fraud, and served less than half of the 29-month sentence. Radler is now back in the newspaper business, as president of the Alberta Newspaper Group, and BNN speaks to him in an exclusive interview.
