Please let me assure you that, first and foremost, I am a newspaper man. I don't apologize for the fact that I have always had strong opinions and strong ideas about newspapers; but I have also always respected the independence and integrity of the news organizations with which I am associated.
Quite simply, the businesses of Dow Jones, and in particular The Wall Street Journal, represent American journalism at its best. Your record of journalistic independence and integrity is second to none. Any interference -- or even hint
of interference -- would break the trust that exists between the paper and its readers, something I am unwilling to countenance. Apart from breaching the public's trust, it would simply be bad business.
En la carta, Murdoch promete mantener la independencia de DJ y de su periódico bandera, el Wall Street Journal, estableciendo un consejo editorial independiente y autónomo, y promocionando la formación de periodistas mediante un incremento de fondos y apoyo de la Dow Jones Foundation. Asimismo, ofrece a los Bancroft un asiento en el consejo de administración de News Corp. con el fin de asegurar la integridad y la buena comunicación entre la familia y la empresa.
Por ahora, la familia Bancroft ha dado la callada por respuesta a la carta.
