...Universal Press Syndicate, which distributes Doonesbury to the Post and 470 other newspapers, merged with the Washington Star Syndicate. As part of the deal, Doonesbury would be stripped from the Post and handed over to the rival Star (along with Tank McNamara and Cathy). For the long-suffering Star (circ. 328,612), nabbing Doonesbury from the prosperous Post (circ. 601,913) was clearly a coup. The Star, an afternoon paper acquired last year by Time Inc., also plans to launch a morning edition next month to compete more directly with the Post...
...fewer Iranian newspapers around to report it. Apparently angered by an article about Forghan, a terrorist group that last month killed a member of Iran's ruling Islamic Revolutionary Council, the Ayatullah Khomeini declared that he would never again read Ayandegan, Tehran's leading morning daily (circ. 400,000). After thousands of rock-throwing demonstrators massed at the paper's office, editors published a farewell issue consisting of a front-page editorial and three blank pages. Said the editorial: "Until the government clarifies its position regarding the press and guarantees our professional rights, we cannot produce...
...What happened with New York will never happen again," vowed Editor Clay Felker after his humiliating loss of that magazine in 1976 to Australian Publisher Rupert Murdoch. Never can be a very short time in the publishing business. This week Felker will lose another magazine, Esquire (circ. 650,000), which he bought in 1977 with money from British Publisher Vere Harmsworth's Associated Newspapers. Associated is selling most of its interest in Esquire to 13-30 Corp. of Knoxville, Tenn., a small but fast-growing publisher of specialized magazines (New Marriage, Nutshell, Graduate) aimed at readers aged...
...small newspaper likes nothing better than a national story in its own backyard. Last week at the Point Reyes (Calif.) Light (circ. 2,700), the paper's own backyard was a national story. The Light was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for its investigative articles about the activities of Synanon, the controversial drug-rehabilitation group with headquarters six miles away. Out-of-town journalists quickly descended on the paper's storefront office in Point Reyes Station (pop. 420) to interview the Light's owners, Cathy, 34, and David Mitchell, 35. Armed with Stanford journalism degrees and experience...
...Task Force. "We're in every profession you can imagine." Says Robert L. Livingston, a gay member of the New York City commission on human rights: "Homosexuals are disco babies and Goldwater Republicans." He is not exaggerating: Donald Embinder, 44, gay publisher of Blueboy, something like a homosexual Playboy (circ. 135,000), once campaigned for Arizona's senior Senator...
