It also plans to further reduce the debts it incurred through these purchases (after the Enquirer sale, the company says its overall debt will total "only" $355 million). Another area in which the publisher is apparently placing its bets is the increasingly legal $13 billion North American cannabis industry. Earlier this month, Neptune Wellness Solutions—a Quebec-based provider of "natural alternative products," including cannabis and hemp extracts, fish oils and other supplements—announced a new partnership with American Media under which the publisher will provide Neptune with advertising and creative...
