NWA newspaper merger near?
Chris Spencer at Ozarks Unbound notes a corporate filing that he suspects means the end is near for competing daily newspapers in Washington and Benton Counties. Signs are growing -- and I heard some whispers last night -- that the Justice Department has signed off on the monopoly newspaper combine in the area to end the war between media properties of a couple of Arkansas tycoons, Warren Stephens and Walter Hussman.
Nov. 1 is the date many are assuming the combine will occur and, with it, some dislocation for untold numbers of employees as duplicate efforts end.

Home, home in the enclave,
where the Arkcons and the Republicans play,
where seld . . . (Er, scratch that) where NEVER is heard,
a dissenting word,
and Faux News resounds all days!

Does the Arkansas Right-To-Life guy still have an office right across the room from Greg Harton's office in the newsroom at the NWAT? A "Choose Life" license plate was prominently displayed, as were other religious symbols, in his office.
