Editors Weblog: ‘What will happen to the Boston Globe?’
June 19th, 2009Posted by Judith Townend in Editors' pick, Newspapers
A good summary from a variety of sources by the Editors’ Weblog on the future of the Boston Globe.
“As the Boston Newspaper Guild and Boston Globe management take a break in negotiations until next week, speculation has been mounting on possible buyers for the paper and what its future might be. The union and owner the New York Times Co are trying to come to an agreement on how to make $10 million of savings following the union’s narrow rejection of a deal and the Times Co’s subsequent imposition of a 23 per cent pay cut for all staff. The company is also looking at selling the paper.”
