...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.

In size, they range from the Village Voice (circ. 170,000), to the Straight Creek Journal (circ. 5,500). Most of the 40 papers (combined circulation 1.5 million) in the year-old National Association of Alternative Newsweeklies are tabloids serving urban areas. But at least one is a full-size broadsheet (Willamette Week in Portland, Ore.), and others are statewide (Maine Times), suburban (Pacific Sun in Marin County, Calif.), rural (California's Mendocino Grapevine) and even insular (Maui...
Reader (free circ. 97,000) now regularly runs to more than 100 ad-rich pages a week, and grossed almost $2 million in 1978. Ad revenues at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Reader (no relation) were up 410% in 1977 and 298% last year. Seattle's Weekly (circ. 15,000) won a contract to print the program for the visiting King Tut exhibit, and the Ithaca (N. Y.) Times and the local Chamber of Commerce collaborate to publish a calendar every summer. There is even an alternative chain: the Times/Advocate Newspapers, with papers serving western Massachusetts (circ...
...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...
