Reed
fails to sell arms fairs
Times Online, December 30
Reed Elsevier has failed to sell off its controversial arms fairs by the end of this
year as planned.
The tiny but highly profitable division was put up for sale in June after key customers
and authors took offence at Reed’s involvement in shows such as DSEi (Defence Systems
& Equipment International), London’s main arms fair, where some exhibitors were
ejected this year for trying to promote leg irons.
