Mr. Murdoch and The Journal

MR MURDOCH AND THE JOURNAL
[SOURCE: New York Times, AUTHOR: Editorial staff]
[Commentary] Editorial pages generally do not compliment the competition, but today we write in praise of The Wall Street Journal. The Journal, the crown jewel of Dow Jones & Company, produces a balanced and trustworthy news report that is required reading for corporate and political leaders around the world. The question is whether that news operation will survive if Rupert Murdoch persuades the Bancroft family to sell Dow Jones, and thus The Journal.
