Abstract

When John Solomon left The Washington Post last year to become the executive editor of The Washington Times, he was seen as the best hope to push the money-losing paper -- owned by News World Communications, a wing of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church -- into the digital age. But earlier in November, Mr. Solomon resigned, and the fate of the paper now seems uncertain. Instead of the renaissance that Mr. Solomon and his staff had sought, what came was a tumultuous two weeks of resignations, firings and a discrimination complaint from the former editorial page editor, who said he had been ''coerced'' into attending a church event. The changes have left media watchers and Washington Times employees wondering whether the paper will survive. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
