Excerpt -
Rupert Murdoch's courtship of the Bancroft family appears to have triumphed, with enough shares pledged to make News Corp. the owner of the newspaper whose Web site you are now reading. Readers are naturally asking how this will change the journalism we practice. Our sincere answer is that we intend to stand for the same principles and standards we have for more than a hundred years.The Bancrofts have been wonderful stewards of The Wall Street Journal for a century, and we are grateful for the support they have provided for our brand of independent journalism. They are being assailed in some quarters for "selling out" for the money, but those of us who work here know how often they have supported our writing despite its risks to advertising or circulation. We don't doubt for a second that they are doing what they hope will be best for the Journal, as well as for their own families.
