The links with The Globe are impossible to ignore. Stat's stories run in the paper's pages, yet Stat News is a separate startup free of the obligations to worry about printing costs or union contracts or the historic expectations advertisers and readers might have for an existing newspaper. Some Globe journalists express ambivalence. They're delighted to have Stat's expertise in their pages, but last month, the company laid off and bought out dozens from newsroom jobs and the juxtaposition stings. Berke says, you have to distinguish between the two outlets - one regional, one with broader ambitions.
