The [Wednesday] Papers

Tribune Publishing's new CEO is basically not allowed to speak truthfully about the company unless under oath. From the non-disparagement clause of Justin Dearborn's contract, via Footnoted:

"Executive agrees that Executive will not at any time during Executive's employment with the Company (whether or not such employment continues beyond the Employment Term) or thereafter take (directly or indirectly, individually or in concert with others) any actions or make any communications calculated or likely to have the effect of materially undermining, disparaging or otherwise reflecting negatively upon the reputation, goodwill, or standing in the community of the Company, or any of its respective subsidiaries, business units, other affiliates, officers, directors, employees and/or agents, provided that nothing herein shall prohibit Executive from giving truthful testimony or evidence to a governmental entity, or if properly subpoenaed or otherwise required to do so under applicable law."
