SEATTLE (AP) - The Seattle Times Co. and the owner of its rival, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, have asked a judge to let an arbitrator settle whether they can end their joint operating agreement.
In a statement released Thursday, The Times and Hearst Corp. said they want a speedy resolution to a court battle that began three years ago.
"Quicker resolution is by far the best option for the newspapers and for the employees of both The Times and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer," Frank Blethen, publisher of The Seattle Times, said in the statement.
