Sarah Ellison of The Wall Street Journal reports that Dow Jones & Co., the Journal’s parent, has delivered a proposal to News Corp. that would safeguard the editorial independence of the newspaper if the company is acquired.
“News Corp. officials believed the makeup of the board and other aspects of the document would give too much control to the family in the event of a deal, according to people familiar with their thinking.
“A meeting between the two sides hasn’t been set, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The proposal also reflected the views of some senior Dow Jones editors, this person said.”
