    SINGAPORE Press Holdings (SPH) is establishing a $100 million New Media Fund to reinvigorate its core business after weak ad and circulation sales dragged fiscal 2013 net profit down by 25 per cent.

    "If I am direct, most of our indicators are down," SPH chief financial officer Tony Mallek said at a press briefing.
