...city's Post-Dispatch, founded in 1878 by Joseph Pulitzer and controlled by his descendants, seems entrenched (circ. 378,255). The competing Globe- Democrat, which announced its closing three times in three years, finally folded in 1986. But Ingersoll contends that the P.D. fails to serve the market. "Two-thirds of the households do not read the Post-Dispatch," he claims. "The great challenge is that two-thirds, the unwashed, if you will, who are simply not interested." To reach them, the Sun will be a color- splashed tabloid "for today's video world." Post-Dispatch chairman Joseph Pulitzer...
...same thing. Otherwise she could not devote her life to a cause that has torn asunder her country, her family and her young girl's dreams of a happy life with a good man. Dona Violeta, 59, is president and publisher of Nicaragua's opposition daily La Prensa (circ. 50,000 to 75,000, depending on the availability of newsprint). Even more, she is a living reminder of what Nicaragua might have been had her husband Pedro Joaquin Chamorro Cardenal not been gunned down eleven years ago, a year before the Sandinistas came to power...

Another heavy blow in the '80s was deregulation of rail, truck, bus and airline service, along with the breakup of the Bell system. These changes permitted corporations to abandon service or increase rates in thousands of small towns. H.E. ("Ned") Valentine, owner and editor of the Clay Center Dispatch (circ. 3,800), finds the outcome ironic: "Both Presidents Carter and Reagan espoused small-town American values. Both were admired for it. But Carter's deregulation program, amplified by eight years of Reagan, has taken its toll here...
...time when most U.S. cities boast only a single large-circulation daily newspaper, New York City has four. While the broadsheet New York Times (circ. 1 million) has a comfortable lead in the scramble for local advertising dollars, three of the country's seven remaining big-time tabloids -- the New York Post (circ. 713,786), New York Daily News (1.3 million) and Newsday (633,119) -- are fighting a bruising battle for the rest. If old-style newspaper competition is dying nationwide, New York just might be the site of the tabloids' last stand...
