Why Shares of Tegna Jumped Almost 20% This Week

Shares of TEGNA (NYSE: TGNA) -- the media company previously known as Gannett -- have climbed nearly 20% so far this week as of Thursday afternoon.

It was also reported that entrepreneur and former comedian Byron Allen, in addition to Apollo Global Management, were part of the bidding.
