  [about justifying news to managment]

   Take the line that news is a perk that the employees have gotten used to.
Therefore, removing it will take away a real (if difficult to quantify) part
of thier benifits. Managment would then have to justify this move to the
employees or risk alienation.
   There may be good reasons for removing news (I suspect not). Maybe they
need to cut costs, or can't afford a new disk to carry the ever expanding
flow. But it has to be balanced by the effect on morale. If they want to do
it, get them to broadcast thier intentions. If enough people complain, they
may not do it.
