DJ & Co. + News Corp: Will it Ever Happen?

A couple weeks ago, we published an article on minonline that reported on the announcement by the British magazine The Business that the capitulation of the Dow Jones board and the Bancroft family was imminent, and that the sale of the company to Rupert Murdoch would be announced “next week”. Well, “next week” is already several weeks ago, and we still have no deal: only anticipation. (Note: scratch The Business off the list of reliable sources…and, by proxy, minonline? Well, let’s hope not.)

Anyway, today brings us more news of possible future news from The New York Times: what will happen at the 5 pm deadline? Meanwhile, I haven’t prepared anything to write in anticiapation of either outcome…I’d better get my quill and start scratching!

Ps - 59% of theminsider readers polled do think the sale will go through, by the way. Sample size: 29. But a very smart, select, good-looking 29.
