Murdoch said to be close to terms on Journal
Cory Bergman June 25th, 2007
The NY Times reports that News Corp. and Dow Jones are close to coming to terms on the stickiest point of the proposed acquisition: editorial independence. And the Journal reports, “Talks have speeded up ever since the Bancrofts last week gave Dow Jones’s board the power to negotiate with News Corp. Both sides described the negotiations as constructive, and said that an agreement in principle for News Corp. to acquire Dow Jones could come together quickly. ” (WSJ sub. req. for second link)

That expose is really lame. My favorite quote is the ex- NewsCorp exec who says Murdoch doesn’t bark orders, it’s just that he has employees who are trying to please him. Stop the presses! Employees seek to please boss! Somebody call the FTC!
The Times dedicated a whole team of reporters for a month, and this is what they come up with.
