Time Warner is also looking to restructure its business as the company is said to be in talks with Meredith Corp. about a magazine deal. The company is planning to divest its magazine business and focus on its core competency areas. If successful, the deal will free up resources to be channeled into more lucrative units, as the magazine unit is one of the worst performing segment for Time Warner Inc.
