...Edmund G. ("Pat") Brown, who landslid over Knowland in the state's 1958 gubernatorial race. White House Hopeful Brown was there to pass out awards on behalf of the California Newspaper Publishers Association. He handed Bill Knowland, now the editorial panjandrum of the Knowland family-owned Oakland Tribune (circ. 208,198), the first-place plaque in the competition among dailies of over 100,000 circulation for the best coverage of women's interests...
...years, the Cleveland News (circ. 124,697) tried to prove that Cleveland was a three-paper town. Always sickly, it survived against the other afternoon paper, Scripps-Howard sturdy Press (circ. 304,074), only through the pump priming of its owner since 1932, the Forest City Publishing Co., which also prints Cleveland's morning paper, the healthy Plain Dealer (circ. 305.291).

It was-and still is-a good newspaper, but it is caught between the towering Times (circ. 614,169) and the popular Daily News (circ. 2,026,850). In the inexperienced hands of Reid's inheritors it steadily lost position, revenue and prestige. When "Jock" Whitney's millions acquired this ailing property, the staff hopefully looked in George Cornish's direction for leadership: he was the one man who had patiently weathered all the storms between stability and decline...
...went to the Herald Tribune postwar as a reporter after a four-year combat hitch as a Marine Corps officer. He was raised to city editor in 1952, left the paper in 1955 to become executive director of the Wilmington Morning News and Journal-Every Evening (combined circ. 101,468), both owned by Christiana Securities Co., a Du Pont holding company. With Yerxa's return to the Trib, the new top management team is complete-a fact that may calm some of the jitters in the city room...
