A Royal Divorce

They should get alimony, no?

"
From the moment the Times Co. purchased The Globe in 1993, it has treated New England's largest newspaper like a cheap whore"

How come the GLOBE did NOT REPORT what their FORMER COLUMNIST NOTED? Hmmmmm.

The end of a relationship that began in June 1993 with smiles, handshakes, and a press conference at the Parker House. The deal was not only the largest ever paid for a newspaper - $1.1 billion - but was seen by many as a merger of two of the most prominent American newspaper families: the Sulzbergers and the Taylors.

Dubbed a "royal marriage" by some at the time, the relationship paid off through much of the 1990s as the Globe continued to reap high advertising revenues, especially through its classified department. However, as internet advertising became more common about a decade ago, and newspaper circulation started to fall as more people began to get their news online, revenue at the Globe and most other papers fell rapidly.

Two months ago, these problems came to a head when the Times Co. threatened to shut down the Globe if the paper's unions didn't agree to $20 million in concessions through steep wage cuts and other measures. Most of the major unions have since ratified the cuts, making the Guild, the Globe's largest union, the last holdout when its members narrowly voted down concessions Monday.

The Times Co. has since imposed a 23-percent pay cut, effective Sunday, and the union has filed unfair labor practice charges against the company. The two sides will meet again Monday, with the financial fates of nearly 700 Globe staffers unclear.
