Really, Mr. Hearst?

I brought up the Herald Examiner example. I wonder why you failed to
argue with me on that example, rather that your obssessive spelling of
"news" and "ads" in upper case. The Herald's strength was its
reputation for getting City Hall scoop faster than the L.A. Times, (despite
the fact that the Times Mirror Building is located a paper's throw from
City Hall!), and the Herald had a more popular Sports section that the
times in its day (and since, the Herald's sportswriters moved over
to the Times). But the Herald folded in November 1989! Why? The lack
of advertisers -> The lack of revenue. 

The Los Angeles Times charges $0.35 for each paper, daily, except for
Sunday. They charge each advertiser several hundred to several thousand
dollars. What makes more money?

BTW, The Los Angeles Times plans to move out of their Times Mirror Square
site in the Civic Center and into the former Security Pacific tower
in Downtown by the end of the year.

And I don't know anything about the nespaper industry.

I am honored to meet a man whose name lives up to its reputation.
