The Daily News filed for Federal bankruptcy court protection yesterday, and while the paper will probably continue to operate for now, the possibility that it will soon be sold or closed has greatly increased. The paper's bankruptcy filing came on the same day that the Maxwell family's privately held companies, which control The Daily News and hundreds of other family companies, filed for bankruptcy in Britain. The British court appointed four partners at Arthur Andersen & Company, the accounting firm, to act as administrators of the private companies. [ Page D7. ]
