Investor Carl Icahn bought 6.6 percent of Gannett, said Noble Financial Capital Markets in an email to investors Friday. Icahn said he was buying the shares because he “wants a role in the company’s planned split of its TV, digital and newspaper divisions” (CD Aug 6 p15), Noble said. Icahn’s buy may increase visibility for the company and its newspaper division, Noble said.
