Print veterans criticize Murdoch-WSJ talks
From Editor and Publisher: “If Rupert Murdoch succeeds in buying Dow Jones & Co., will the unusual editorial-independence provision in the deal — which would apparently limit his involvement in The Wall Street Journal newsroom — really work? And should it? Veteran editors and newspaper executives who spoke with E&P today offered mostly criticism of the arrangement, from both the newsroom and ownership sides, saying the awkward limitations may well be unfair to the owner while likely doing little to truly protect the editorial department.”
