Hearing details were announced Monday as news surfaced that the New York Times Co. had reached a tentative deal with unions at the Boston Globe, and would hold off on its threat to shut the Globe down. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., will chair the hearing. Other witnesses include Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md.; Knight Foundation President Albert Ibarguen; former Baltimore Sun reporter David Simon; former Washington Post managing editor Steve Coll; and Dallas Morning News CEO James Moroney. The hearing follows one held last month by the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts and Competition Policy called "A New Age for Newspapers: Diversity of Voices, Competition and the Internet."
