While other investors have pared back on their newspaper holdings (their stocks continue to crater: QED), Fidelity Investments has upped its stake in Lee Enterprises (NYSE: LEE) to 11.5 percent or 4.66 million shares from 3.5 percent previously, according to Bloomberg. Already since the beginning of the year, Lee shares have been crushed, falling 32 percent. However, don’t look for a big board battle at Lee, at least not yet.
