THE DEATH OF PRINT JOURNALISM, TRANSATLANTIC EDITION

Mike Caren’s nonexclusive mega-deal with WMG, which secures free-agent status for him and a windfall of big acts and catalog for the label group, marks the beginning of a new era for the biz trailblazer. Caren’s APG is now set to play a dominant role in the indie sector. He just wishes he could be independent of us.
