City / Media Call Me Next Week

Posted by Eli Sanders on Wed, Mar 11, 2009 at 12:42 PM

In a phone interview today, Seattle Post-Intelligencer publisher Roger Oglesby said:

Hearst expects to announce a decision regarding the P-I at some point next week.

Close followers of the P-I end-date guessing game—which, in the absence of a clear signal from Hearst, has come to involve an odd mix of numerology, psychic inference, and complex planetary physics requiring a lunar azimuth—will note that next week brings the oft-mentioned date of March 18.

At least the announcement won't come on Friday the 13th.

"An Appeal to the Citizens of Seattle" is the title of an ad on page A4 of today's print edition of the P-I.

John Burbank, Andy Gordon, Russ Lidman, Stan Sorscher and Janet Wainwright -- all citizens -- bought the ad. They're urging the public to help laid-off journalists create a post P-I by sending pledges to SeattlePostGlobe@yahoo.com.

Oh, hey, if you don't have plans for St. Patty's day, you can drop by the 43rd Dems - we'll have Guinness, Henry's, and other fine stuff for those of legal age.

We may have boring meetings, but you can still enjoy them ...
