Nazar has denied it was the notorious Nazi sign, saying it was a patriotic symbol; he has threatned legal action against the tabloid...

The company says it will make money this year, but with newspaper advertising still falling sharply, the city cannot support two papers, and the Daily News has a daily circulation of only about 100,000. The tabloid has a small staff, most of whom could probably stay on at Philly.com, the Web operation for both of the city dailies...
