 PROFILE
Elvis has left the newspaper! American Media, the nation's top publisher of tabloid newspapers, is revamping its leading publications ("National Enquirer" and "Star") to focus more on hard-news and reputable celebrity coverage. It also publishes "The Globe, National Examiner, Weekly World News," and "Country Weekly." The company hopes its move toward respectability will help reverse the falling circulation of its tabloids. American Media also operates Distribution Services, which places the periodicals in supermarkets throughout the US and Canada. About 85% of the company's revenues are from circulation; advertising accounts for the rest. Investment firm Evercore Partners owns American Media.
