 PROFILE
Metro International lets you breeze through the news during your commute. The company publishes free daily newspapers (under such names as "Metro, Metropol," and "Publimetro") in 18 cities across 14 countries (primarily in Europe). Metro aggregates stories from news services and compiles them in quick-to-read tabloid form; its papers are generally available in mass transportation stations. With a total daily circulation of more than 3 million copies, Metro's papers are among the most widely read in the world. The company was spun off from Sweden's Modern Times Group (MTG) in 2000. Chairman Jan Stenbeck (also chairman of MTG) controls nearly 40% of Metro through his investment and holding companies.
