...peaceful coexistence is that most readers' thirst for the printed word is only whetted by TV. It is likely that TV was a big factor in newspapers' gain of 1,000,000 circulation (to a record 57 million) last year. Los Angeles Times Editor L. D. Hotchkiss even credits his paper's saturation coverage of TV with helping to cure the summer circulation slump that has long plagued dailies.
