UK entrepreneur ponders publishing success with expected launch of a free newspaper for New Yorkers.

Britain’s most iconic entrepreneur, Sir Richard Branson, is eyeing the newspaper business as his next potential gold mine according to a source obtained by Forbes magazine.

The chairman of Virgin is reportedly considering the scope of unveiling a free daily publication in New York City, in what would mark a nostalgic venture for the entrepreneur who launched a magazine in his early teens.

The anticipated free newspaper, described by the source as still in the preliminary stages, would focus on show business and entertainment.
