Clueless in Seattle

The owners of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer say they've yet to decide the fate of the newspaper, despite having told employees that their jobs will be gone by the end of the month.

The P-I attributes the following to a Hearst Corp. spokesman:

"We are still evaluating our options," Paul Luthringer said in an e-mail. "Timing of the decision is uncertain."

When asked what decision he was referring to, he responded, "These options exist: 1) Seek buyer. If no buyer, then 2) Go digital, or 3) Close. No decision has been made."

The P-I says there are about 170 people employed by the newspaper.
