Tipping Point

The New York Times reports today that Dow Jones may be for sale after all, though not to the first but the highest bidder. At the same time, NYT goes on to cite an anonymous source that Dow Jones is determined to maintain "the editorial independence and integrity of The Wall Street Journal."*

Can the Journal, Dow Jones & Company's most valuable asset, emerge independent after a bidding war? I'll wait to see. In the meantime, observe that at least the anonymous source didn't say "editorial integrity."
