NEW YORK — Ted Turner isn’t expected to renew his employment contract with AOL Time Warner Inc. when it expires at the end of this year, Friday’s Wall Street Journal reported.

Some suggest that could free Mr. Turner — a major shareholder with the title of vice chairman — to become more of a critic of the media giant.

AOL Time Warner (AOL) hasn’t yet offered Mr. Turner a new contract and he hasn’t asked for one, people familiar with the situation say.
