...morning Enquirer has been a chain possession since 1956, but Publisher Roger Ferger does not go to the annual meetings (he is not invited) and does not receive the Washington-written editorials (he would not run them). Nor does the Scripps-Howard lighthouse beam from the Enquirer's masthead. The Enquirer endorsed Ohio Republican William O'Neill for Governor in 1958, the Post & Times-Star supported Democrat Mike Di Salle. > To an even greater degree than the Cincinnati Post, the Cleveland Press picks local candidates without regard to their political hue. After supporting Di Salle in 1958, this...
Although such forthrightness helped reduce race trouble in northeast North Carolina-it remains remarkably free of it to this day-it only heightened the Independent's unpopularity. In a backhanded compliment, the State Port Pilot over in Brunswick County raised this brag to its masthead: "Most Cussed Newspaper in North Carolina, Outside of Elizabeth City" The Independent ultimately commanded a paid audience of 6,000 spread over 30 states, but it went virtually adless for years at a stretch, fought a losing lifelong battle against financial failure.

Halyard and lift winches were removed from the mast and fastened to the deck. Unnecessary bulkheads, deck rails, and the masthead wind indicator (weight: about 2 lbs.) were gone. Even a beer cooler and a wooden pipe rack were sacrificed for speed...
...since the Examiner was Pop Hearst's first paper, Junior feels a strong sentimental attachment that will not let him yield. In his morning struggle with the Chronicle, the evening Call-Bulletin (the word News will be dropped from the masthead), oddly enough, may prove a useful pawn. Through advertising tie-ins between his morning and evening papers, Hearst may be able to undercut the Chronicle rates. Furthermore, Bill Hearst is well aware that should he ever abandon San Francisco's evening field, he would leave it wide open for the Chronicle-which could then move...
