Dear Sirs,
We want to thank you very much for your genuine interest and concern about our future independence and working conditions under the new ownership of Mr. Murdoch.
But after reading that your bankers’ and lawyers’ $40 million in fees will be paid not by you but by News Corporation, and after getting almost $3 billion in cash, we would like to know if you are going to share some of this money with us.
You’ve said all along that our quality journalism was the most important asset of Dow Jones as a media company.
We agree.
Thank you very much.
The journalists and our first-class journalism were the key elements behind the success of your newspaper.
But, let’s be serious: how much of that $3 billion are you willing to share with us?
Or has another ship been sold with the slaves inside?
Yours,
The slaves.
