...example, a year ago the editor of the monarchist paper ABC, one of the biggest dailies in the country (circ. 90,000), was removed by the government for publishing "news and editorials contrary to official policy." A fortnight ago Franco's Falange party struck at ABC again by drastically cutting its newsprint quota, after the paper neglected to print a "required" editorial praising government candidates for public office.

The Journal's screaming red headlines and crusading zeal once appealed to New York's immigrant population, but this formula no longer works so well. Though it has cut its staff to trim expenses and runs giveaway contests (Cashword Puzzles, Daily Double Racing Game, Lucky Safety Cards) to boost circulation, the Journal...
...World-Telegram and Sun has followed the trend toward less news, more entertainment. But the paper has lost the verve and excitement of the old World without even keeping the stodgy completeness of the Sun. The Telly (circ. 531,469) has been able to hold only one-third of the readers it took over when it merged with the Sun in 1950. Its ads have declined, and its loss this year is estimated to be more than...
