...issue is the company's determination to uproot work rules that, it argues, reflect generations of featherbedding that cost the News some $70 million a year in excessive wages and benefits. The newspaper says it loses $50 million annually. "These contracts are a nightmare," says News publisher James Hoge. "You can't manage effectively under them...
...unrelated to a reporter's regular field. But others frown on any political advocacy. The Times, which plans to clarify its policy, declines to "explicitly say that journalists can't participate in a movement that is far afield from their beats," says assistant managing editor Warren Hoge. "But I sure wish they wouldn't." The Post takes a more hard-line position: its reporters are discouraged from engaging in any political activities, including community affairs, regardless of what they cover.

Some journalists criticized NBC not so much for conducting an interview with a wanted terrorist as for agreeing to give up the most newsworthy element of the story. Warren Hoge, foreign editor of the New York Times, says that his paper was offered an Abbas interview several weeks after the ship hijacking, but turned it down.

The price was topped, however, by Australian Press Lord Rupert Murdoch, and a disheartened Hoge quit the paper in January. Last week he crossed his former battle lines: in April...
...Times belonged to Chicago's wealthy Field family for four decades. When current rent Directors Marshall Field 5th, 42, and his half brother Frederick, 31, began liquidating their extensive holdings last spring, the community-minded Marshall wanted a local group led by Sun-Times Publisher James Hoge, 47, to buy the paper. He promised staffers he would never sell it to Murdoch. But Hoge's final offer was only $63 million and did not include the syndicate. In addition, Frederick, a film investor with a penchant for racing cars, was arguing in favor of Murdoch, who offered...
