Save the Merc!
Recent days have brought dizzying change to the San Jose Mercury News. In quick succession, the Mercury's owner, Knight Ridder, was sold to the McClatchy Co. which has announced it intends to sell the Mercury News.
The pending resale puts the paper's ability to cover the community at risk. An owner more interested in increasing profits than in fulfilling the paper's responsibility to the community likely would impose severe cutbacks in news coverage.
Please join the employees of the Mercury News and voice your support for preserving this vital civic institution.
We encourage you to visit the Save the Merc website and Sign the Support Statement.
