New Times Takeover

The Stranger emailed and needed a quick, overnight illo. The article is about the New Times company buying out other 'independent' weeklies including some of the largest ones like the Village Voice and Seattle Weekly. The problem w/ this is like any other large company owning a majority share in a field: How will the opinions reflected in each publication be 'independent' when one company ownes them all?
The illo shows the New Times company picking up the 'Seattle Weekly' and adding it to his growing collection of weeklies.
