Newspaper Inc
SEC filings are typically dense bundles of legalese and boilerplate. The 384-page prospectus for the impending merger of GateHouse and Gannett, registered Aug. 29, is no exception. But the document also includes a remarkably detailed account of negotiations that spread over seven months and dozens of meetings before terms of the deal were made final […]

Disappearing Editorial Cartoonists, and More By Those Cartoonists on the New York Times Action
This month, The New York Times fired its two cartoonists, Patrick Chappatte and Heng Kim Song, who drew for the international edition. This wasn’t a cost-cutting measure. I believe it was a response to the outrage The Times received in April after the international editions printed an anti-Semitic cartoon of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu […]

The New York Times Cartoon Ban (week two)
I thought, since Mike mostly foregoes politics on Fridays, today would be a good time to update the reaction to the New York Times cartoon ban. But the AAEC beat me with their roundup earlier today.

No More Chappatte or Ed-Op Cartoons for NYTIMES – updated
From Patrick Chappatte: THE NEW YORK TIMES WILL END ALL POLITICAL CARTOONS I just learned, weeks after they published a syndicated Netanyahu cartoon that caused a scandal.

Plain Dealer Change – Readers Are the Editors
The Cleveland Plain Dealer recently changed their format from six columns to four columns. But now they don’t know what to do with it and are asking readers to design and edit the paper.

Salt Lake Tribune to Try New Business Model
Nonprofit status has become a common business model for many news organizations just starting out. That magic “501(c)(3)” on an About page doesn’t solve all a publisher’s problems by any means — but it opens up new avenues of funding, communicates intent to audiences, and orients the organization toward a common cause. Now that […]
