my guess, based on a fair amount of experience, is that those who are fingering the newhouse lawyers in this deal are a lot more right than those who think it signals the O printing only on the days the Portland Tribune doesn't, or whatever.

is the pledge legally binding? I suspect that is just what the lawyers don't want to have to find out someday. Still, the company's paternalism was bound to fade as generations pass.

but here is a question. Imagine you are a fulltime employee of the real daily newspaper, and management asks you to head up a new weekly special section. Do you jump at the chance for more responsibility, or do you wonder if you are putting your livelihood in danger. Management is going to have to answer that question.
