ITEM 8.01         OTHER EVENTS                                

          On October 18, 2004, Hollinger International Inc. (the
"Company") announced that it filed a Motion with the Court of Chancery in       
Delaware (the "Court") requesting that the Court change the expiration date of  
its June 28, 2004 injunction against Conrad Black and Hollinger Inc. from       
October 31, 2004 to December 31, 2004. The purpose of this request is to enable 
the Company to undertake the most significant remaining step under its Strategic
Process -- the distribution of certain proceeds from the sale of the Telegraph  
Group.                                                                          

              Under the injunction, Conrad Black, Hollinger Inc. and any
other person acting in concert with them are enjoined from, among other things, 
further breaching the Restructuring Proposal entered into with the Company in   
November, 2003, which established the Strategic Process, or committing further  
breaches of fiduciary duty in connection with the Strategic Process.            

               In its motion, the Company notes that following the sale of
the Telegraph Group it has taken several steps towards the completion of the    
Strategic Process, including the retirement of approximately $500 million of    
debt, the disposition of certain of the Company's non-core assets and           
investments and the preparation of the Company's financial reports for 2003, the
first two quarters of 2004 and certain pro forma information. However, until    
such financial reports are finalized and filed with the U.S. Securities and     
Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Corporate Review Committee of the Company's    
Board of Directors (the "CRC") cannot take all appropriate actions necessary to 
decide the precise amount and precise method for distributing up to the         
approximately $700 million in remaining proceeds from the sale of the Telegraph 
Group. The Company said that its financial reports will likely be finalized and 
filed with the SEC in November. The Company notes in its motion that if the CRC 
chooses to distribute proceeds through a self-tender offer, the tender would    
likely commence in November and could be completed by December. The motion also 
notes that if the CRC chooses to declare a dividend, the distribution of the    
dividend could be accomplished in the same timeframe.
