I also think news wasn't that bad, it just needed some issues sorted such as posting quicker and the removal of real life etc. Then why make it suffer by merging it... If I were a news reporter and wanted to work for news, I would not want to work for Wiki or the site content and I can tell you this, many of the best news reporters we had here would never have agreed to working on these areas, so why make them?
Just because if like David said, one department suffers, doesn't mean that others have to go down with it.
