The Seattle Times has agreed to
release the full text of
depositions conducted in its lawsuit
with the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer's owner, The
Hearst Corp. The Times and Hearst had
previously released only excerpts from
the transcripts in the dispute over their
joint operating agreement. Seattle Weekly
yesterday made a court request for the
documents. "The important thing is they
are going to get released, and
everybody's going to be able to have a
closer look at how the JOA's been
managed," Chuck Taylor, Seattle
Weekly's managing editor, told the
Post-Intelligencer.
