Documents that have been drafted guarantee jobs for Wall Street Journal editors if News Corp. takes over. That's both good and bad, says
Dean Starkman. "It's good in that it means you are free to cover the deal without worrying about antagonizing future bosses. It's bad in that it gives you an incentive to favor a sale, and to News Corp., and not to another party. No sale means you keep your job, but without a guarantee. So, News Corp. deal -- job guarantee. Not News Corp. -- no job guarantee."
