On January 9th, Hearst Corporation told employees of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer that unless a buyer was found in 60 days their paper would no longer be printed. But no one official seems willing to commit to exactly when the “60 days” is up. It’s apparently not 60 calendar days from the announcement. The Pacific Northwest Newspaper Guild said on Feb 13th that there were no fewer than 33 days, no more than 47 days left. Hearst will only confirm “mid-March.” Which of course has prompted the requisite Ides of March jokes.
