Reverberating Beat. Almost every week, the Inquirer runs stories that are not to be found elsewhere in the Atlanta press, which includes two white dailies (the morning Constitution, circ. 200,913, and the evening Journal, 260,449) and the World (19,500), a Negro daily founded in 1928. Recently, when an eight-year-old Negro child, injured in a traffic accident, was refused admission to Atlanta's Georgia Baptist Hospital, the Inquirer not only scored a clean beat but had the satisfaction of engineering a minor victory in its chosen cause: as a direct result of the Inquirer story...
None of the 13 surviving Hearst papers in the U.S. found room for a single Times casualty. Detroit's two other dailies, the evening News (circ. 733,583) and the morning Free Press (573,273), were able to absorb only 29. Another 23 managed to stay in journalism by migrating, mostly to smaller papers, among them the Fresno, Calif., Bee (circ. 111,812) and the Rochester, Mich., Clarion, a weekly of 4,900 circulation...
...your great inaugural speech." editorialized suburban Long Island's Newsday (circ. 328,801) in an "open letter" to President John F. Kennedy, "you said to us: 'Ask not what your country can do for you-ask what you can do for your country.' But still we do not know what it is that must be done, and how you as an elected leader want us to do it." Dozens of editorial pages across the U.S. have been making the same complaint to President John Kennedy, but perhaps none of the others thought of wiring the President...
...Monday edition of Communist China's biggest newspaper, Peking's People's Daily (estimated circ. 1,000,000), went down from eight pages to four. The Red Flag, semimonthly bull horn of the Party Central Committee, now occasionally publishes monthly. In Hong Kong, the customary array of Red Chinese propaganda-some 150 different periodicals in 1959-has dwindled to a meager dozen, and a few bookstore browsers were amazed to learn that one steady seller was no longer available: the collected works of Red China's Chairman Mao Tse-tung...
Even though the Star is one of the youngest (18 months) and smallest (circ. 12,300) dailies ever to win a Pulitzer, the award was well earned. Last October, when the bishops sought to unseat Governor Luis Muñoz Marin for what they called "anti-Catholicism" (among other things, they objected to his approval of government birth control programs), Dorvillier's Star was the only paper on the island-which is 90% Catholic-to campaign editorially against the clerics' intervention. While San Juan's Spanish dailies, El Mundo (circ. 58,586) and El Impartial...
