DAILY NEWS OWNER ALLEGES "CONFUSION"
Jim Romenesko’s MediaNews blog, with its unsurpassed roundup of news about media, has been warned by the Daily News' parent company MediaNews Group Inc. that the name similarity between that very fine information blog could cause actionable confusion with its string of suburban newspapers. A funny exchange of letters between lawyers ensued (pdf files): "stop it," "you're kidding," "no, we're not," "fine be that way."
From the president of the media school that handles the site:

For the record (and to appease the folks at Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP), it is not Dean Singleton whose work you read on our website. Neither Jim Romenesko nor his MediaNews has any association with MediaNews Group, Inc.
... From now on, his blog will be called Romenesko.
