Rupert Murdoch and his News Corp. execs are working on a campaign to win over both the Bancroft family and Dow Jones journalists. Murdoch hopes to win over Wall Street Journal staffers by promising larger international news bureaus and a greater investment in the company's electronic properties. News Corp. plans to take a lower-key approach toward the Bancrofts, letting some time pass before it begins any serious outreach, reports the Wall Street Journal. ||
Los Angeles Times: "We're on pins and needles here," says a WSJ staffer. "There's a fear the family could fracture on this, and obviously Murdoch only needs to pick up a fairly small amount of support."
