 PROFILE
Even cutting-edge media companies have to keep their hands in the paper-publishing game -- that's why News Corp. has HarperCollins Publishers. The company publishes under a variety of imprints, including Perennial, Regan Books, HarperCollins UK, and Zondervan. HarperCollins' best sellers include Barbara Kingsolver's "Prodigal Summer," Scott Adams' "Dilbert" books, and "Body for Life" by Bill Phillips and Michael D'Orso. The company's acquisitions in recent years have included Hearst's book-publishing operations (Avon Books, William Morrow & Co.) and London-based publisher Fourth Estate.
