* After spending years in the shadow of bankruptcy proceedings, management turmoil and its more prominent broadcasting stations, the Tribune Media Co's publishing division, is striking out on its own.

* The troubled lender Banco Espirito Santo SA will be shut down, and its healthy businesses will be transferred to a new bank, as part of 4.9 billion euro ($6.58 billion) rescue plan financed primarily by the Portuguese government.

* The International Swaps and Derivatives Association said Argentina's failure to make a payment on its bonds earlier this week would activate credit default swaps on the country's debt.

* Nickelodeon created its first original animated series "Welcome to The Wayne" exclusively for the web and mobile.
