The Obsever Ends Their Print Edition Expect Many Others Papers to Follow
New York ObserverEnding Print Edition (NYT) The New York Observer, the sharp-tongued chronicler of New York City’s power elite owned by Donald J. Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is ceasing its print edition, just shy of its 30th year as a weekly paper. The issue printed this last Wednesday was the paper’s last, Joseph Meyer, chairman and chief executive of Observer Media, the paper’s parent company, said in an interview on Friday. The decision will eliminate the use of New York in the paper’s title — its website is Observer.com — and signals an end of an era when The Observer served as a fixture of Manhattan reporting and a training ground for scores of journalists now in senior positions in the media world. It also comes as newspaper coverage of New York City is being trimmed. The Wall Street Journal will publish its final Greater New York section on Saturday, a result of widespread cuts at the paper. The Daily News, whose staff has already shrunk, announced a new round of layoffs this week. The New York Times is rethinking its own Metro coverage as the paper seeks to lure global audiences.
Wow The Daily News Print Circulation Falls 11.2%
Wow The Daily News Print Circulation Falls 11.2%
Daily News reports steep decline in circulation (NYP) The Daily News is a four-time loser, recently released circulation stats show. The embattled newspaper reported sharply lower sales on weekdays and Sundays and on newsstand sales and home deliveries, according to the Alliance for Audited Media. While the entire newspaper industry has been hammered by print circulation declines in recent years, the drop-off by Mort Zuckerman’s Daily News in September was much more steep than the declines of The Post and the New York Times. The News saw its weekday print circulation tumble 11.2 percent, to 207,680, almost double the 6.8 drop by The Post, which fell to 230,634. The Times reported a decline of 5.5 percent, to 551,579. The Post was the No. 1 seller on newsstands, with 169,543 copies sold in September, down 9.9 percent. The Times sold an average 77,994 newsstand copies, down 3.5 percent. The News saw newsstand sales crater by 11.4 percent, to 115,923. The shocking double-digit declines come weeks after the money-losing News ousted Editor-in-Chief Jim Rich after just one year on the job. The News also reported that circulation via its mobile app tumbled 29.5 percent, to 46,233. The Post’s mobile app circulation jumped 14.2 percent, to 202,422 — pushing total print and digital circulation up 2 percent, to 422,056, and making it the only one of the three papers to record a total circulation gain.*
How the Media Destroyed Itself and Committed Treason in their Corrupt Coverage of the 2016 Campaign
NYT: We Blew It On Trump
New York Times publisher vows to'rededicate' paper to reporting honestly (FOX) The publisher of The New York Times penned a letter to readers Friday promising that the paper would “reflect” on its coverage of this year’s election while rededicating itself to reporting on “America and the world” honestly. Arthur O. Sulzberger Jr., the paper’s embattled publisher, appealed to Times readers for their continued support. “We cannot deliver the independent, original journalism for which we are known without the loyalty of our subscribers,” the letter states. New York Post columnist and former Times reporter Michael Goodwin wrote, "because it (The Times) demonized Trump from start to finish, it failed to realize he was onto something. And because the paper decided that Trump’s supporters were a rabble of racist rednecks and homophobes, it didn’t have a clue about what was happening in the lives of the Americans who elected the new president. Sulzbergers letter was released after the paper’s public editor, Liz Spayd, took the paper to task for its election coverage. She pointed out how its polling feature Upshot gave Hillary Clinton an 84 percent chance as voters went to the polls. She compared stories that the paper ran about President-elect Donald Trump and Clinton, where the paper made Clinton look functional and organized and the Trump discombobulated. Spayd wrote, “Readers are sending letters of complaint at a rapid rate. Here’s one that summed up the feelings succinctly, from Kathleen Casey of Houston: “Now, that the world has been upended and you are all, to a person, in a state of surprise and shock, you may want to consider whether you should change your focus from telling the reader what and how to think, and instead devote yourselves to finding out what the reader (and nonreaders) actually think.” She wrote about another reader who asked that the paper should focus on the electorate instead of “pushing the limited agenda of your editors.” “Please come down from your New York City skyscraper and join the rest of us.” Sulzberger—who insisted that the paper covered both candidates fairly-- also sent a note to staffers on Friday reminding the newsroom to “give he news impartially, without fear or favor.” “But we also approach the incoming Trump administration without bias,” he said.*NYT’s top editor Baquet also said of the struggle for fairness, “I think that Trump has ended that struggle,” adding: “we now say stuff. We fact-check him. We write it more powerfully that it’s false.” Baquet was wrong. Trump indeed was challenging, but it was Baquet who changed journalism. He’s the one who decided that the standards of fairness and nonpartisanship could be broken without consequence.
The Democratic Party Needs to Let the Reformers and Gadfly Back Into the Party and Dump the Consultants Poll Takers and Snarky PR Bots
Michael Moore Morning After To-Do List for Democrats:
2. Fire all pundits, predictors, pollsters and anyone else in the media who had a narrative they wouldn't let go of and refused to listen to or acknowledge what was really going on. Those same bloviators will now tell us we must "heal the divide" and "come together." They will pull more hooey like that out of their ass in the days to come. Turn them off.
3. Everyone must stop saying they are "stunned" and "shocked". What you mean to say is that you were in a bubble and weren't paying attention to your fellow Americans and their despair. YEARS of being neglected by both parties, the anger and the need for revenge against the system only grew. Along came a TV star they liked whose plan was to destroy both parties and tell them all "You're fired!" Trump's victory is no surprise. He was never a joke. Treating him as one only strengthened him. He is both a creature and a creation of the media and the media will never own that.
The governor’s partisan play, a new approach after six years in which he let the GOP rule the chamber, was Cuomo’s attempt, or at least so he said, to gain fresh leverage on ethics reform. Meaning: a cap on outside income, and an end to corrupting cash payments called lulus that the bosses use to reward loyal soldiers and punish renegades Cuomo’s push didn’t work. Flanagan’s caucus is stronger than before, and more stubborn in refusing to attack the corrupt culture. The first repercussions should be that a special pay raise commission looking at salary increases zeroes out any adjustments for legislators when it finishes its work next week. Legislators were in line for a 47% inflation-based pay hike, their first boost since 1999. But they wouldn’t even show to make the case to the panel. They wouldn’t agree to any caps on outside income. They didn’t even give the panel the chance to wrap up before the election — preventing voters from reacting to any hike, as ought to be their right in a representative democracy. The panel, set up to provide some semblance of outside, independent guidance on what legislators are worth, isn’t the final word. Under the law, the Legislature can just go ahead and give itself a raise for the session starting in January. An angry public would not tolerate such self-dealing, especially after an election and in the absence of any ethics fixes. But we double dare Heastie and Flanagan to try.

| NYP & DN Supported Yassky for Comptroller |
"Who's auditing the auditor?" the Daily News asks in an editorial taking Comptroller John Liu to task for blunders like revealing an ongoing part of investigators' CityTime probe. The DN does not talk about how the mayor has said the contractor has done a good job or the 1000% increase in the cost from the original contract agreement. Or the fact that 7 people have been indicted for stealing money with more arrests expected. Why is the Daily News interested in why no city official has been arrested in the CityTime scandal. Both the NYP and Daily News have attacked Liu in recent days for not paying campaign poster fines. Liu has gone after the NYP by canceling a contract between the Department of Education and Murdoch new education company headed by Joe Klein.

Interesting silence by NYT and, not surprisingly, NYP and WSJ on possible conflict of interest in Murdoch/Klein's no-bid state education contract.
A no-bid contracts by the New York State Department of Education(DOE) awarding $27 million to Wireless Generation, a company owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. and headed up by former New York City school chancellor, Joel Klein, smacks of cronyism. It is clear that Klein used his contacts with the DOE to win the contract without a bid. It is also clear that the contract was a payoff to Murdoch for NYP support for the mayor's quest for a third term.
The contract money – part of the state’s $700 million in Race to the Top winnings – will go to Wireless Generation, owned by Rupert Murdoch‘s News Corp., to develop software to track student test scores, among other things. Klein took a job at News Corp. overseeing their educational technology business after he left the chancellor job in December.

When the three editorial boards of the city leading newspapers asked for and got a change in the term limits law to reelect a mayor who served their interests and their wealthy friends needs. The leaders of the NYT, NYP and Daily News told us that Bloomberg knew how to run the city better than anyone. Now after the 8 arrests of city contractors in connection with the Citytime contract scandal there is not a single city official in charge of that project indicted. We are left clueless why the mayor's people and comptroller Thompson did not know about a kick back scam funneling millions to the consults in charge of the project. In fact we are told by the mayor that the CityTime contract is Mission Accomplished. The publishers of the papers have said nothing about the mayor's wasted city funds as teachers are laid off, firehouses closed and cops cuts so deep that that a summer crime was is a real possibility.

The City's latest Newspaper War, Not About New York or Democracy
The City's latest Newspaper War, Not About New York
The NYT launched a personal attack at the NYP that is part of a nation wide newspaper war between the NYT and Murdoch WSJ that is being fought on the streets of New York. With a redesigned Wall Street Journal, mogul Rupert Murdoch is launching an old-fashioned newspaper war against The New York Times. Not since William Randolph Hearst took on Joseph Pulitzer have we seen such a fight.
Out of Towners This newspaper war is different than Hearst vs. Pulitzer in the 1800 or the Post against the Daily News and Newsday in the 1970's and 80's. This Newspaper war is not only about capturing New York's newspaper readers. As papers like the NYP and Daily News continue on their decades long loss of circulation in the city, the Journal and the Times are engaged in a pitched but unusually quiet battle for readers outside the New York metro area who might be persuaded to abandon their local dailies. The Times recently announced a deal that will extend newsstand sales and home delivery of the newspaper to Nashville, Tenn. That becomes the 26th North American city where the Times is printed, link to a mapped of NYT distribution deals. New York Times expanding circulation battlefield with Bay Area
Today, nearly 50% of all subscribers to the weekday Times live somewhere other than Gotham. Last week Murdoch announced that he was hiring NYC rep0rters for the WSJ to cover the city Wall Street Journal Seeks Reporters to Cover New York - NYTimes.com Today the NYT respond by attacking Murdoch NYP stating that while every paper in America has lost circulation, The New York Post more than most — down almost 30 percent in 2.5 years. The NYT story did not mention that in the last 6 months the NYT has lost 8% of its readers and the Daily News which dropped 14%. One wonders why the NYT thinks losing money is a problem for the NY Post. Murdoch has keeped his paper alive for years as a money loser The New York Post: Profitless Paper In Relentless Pursuit (2005). Why does the NYT think Murdoch would shut down the NY Post now with WSJ trying to take readers away from the NYT? If your trying to put the NYT out of business buy cutting into its reader base, your don't close a NYP. Most Post readers would go to the Daily News but a few would go to the NYT. Murdoch who is betting his movie studio on the movie Avatar, does not fold over a few million in loses or a Sober Mood of its workers. The bottom line for the Post and Daily News is not profit, it is influence and power, which is also being lost as circulation falls and readers switch to the Internet The papers have not only lost circulation they have lost the power to influence voters with their editorials. All three daily endorsed losing comptroller candidate David Yassky and Bloomberg for Mayor. The weakness of their editorial is not lost on the Albany gang, they have ignored for months calls for more responsible budget for the state. The once proud papers now beg Albany’s most important job right now is to make certain that New York does not become another California (NYT) *** Going for broke: Time and money have all but run out on dysfunctional Albany (NYDN)
The NYT should read another Pulitzer quote to understand Murdoch and thyself better “Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” This transparent newspaper war just is exposing the self serving ways papers are run compared to the newspaper era of Joseph "Joe" Pulitzer *** Going for broke: Time and money have all but run out on dysfunctional Albany (NYDN) *** Rupert Murdoch Launches Old-Fashioned Newspaper War Against New York Times *** Sober Mood at New York Post as Circulation Spirals Lower *** New York Times Circulation Plummets *** Marvin L.

The Papers That Push For Third Term Offer Excuses
The
NYT tried to somewhat explain the mayor's cover up as his need to
protect. The Daily News Bloomberg clearly acted out of empathy. What
the papers avoided was the fact that Bloomberg poll numbers are very low
and the mayor knew that if this story came out it would drive them
even lower. By covering up Goldsmith arrests Bloomberg was doing all
can not to add to the growing public perception that his third term has
been a disaster. Cathy Black, the CityTime and NYPD ticket scandals
and the continued decline in the city's economy is not what the press
sold us when they pushed for a change in term limits to allow the mayor
to run for a third term. (9/2/11)
There
are no stories today why the press did not ask the mayor on Aug 4 for
the reason for Goldsmith was leaving so abruptly. Or why the entire
media passively assumed the deputy mayor was leaving for his snow storm
fuck up and bad relations with city commissioners. What else is
Bloomberg spinning the press about? Test scores, city officials
involvement in the CityTime and NYPD Ticket Fixing Scandal, The
Haggarity Payments, Etc.

Every editor of The New York Observer is the interim editor
Is new editor and former Giuliani consultant Ken Kurson
plan to remake the Observer to appeal to Staten Island fireman an
attempt to help Lhota? Can it be done? It a little like remaking the NYT
to appeal to the tea party. The Obsever game plan was to
appeal to the city's rich elite with sections art, real estate, culture
and a very liberal opinion page. The paper has counted on high end
real estate ads to appeal to its rich elite readership to make a profit.
To attract the conservatives of Staten Island who elected the only GOP
congressman in the city the Obsever would have to dump it liberal
positions and copy fox news. It is ridiculous to belive that this plan
is real or workable. But it does indicate that
Kurson and papers owner Kushner are up to some scheming. It is a good
bet they are trying to attract readers who they think would vote for
Lhota for mayor. The Paper said this week that Joseph Lhota’s entrance into this year’s mayoral election is welcome news on a couple of fronts.
Firstly, and perhaps most importantly, his presence in the campaign
immediately raises the level of competence in the candidate pool.
Secondly, Mr. Lhota is a Republican, and that, too, is a good thing,
because it means that New York will have another truly competitive
general election in November. If Kurson, Kushner and Giuliani really understood how to help Lhota
become mayor they would be trying to convince it current readership why
Lhota would be a better mayor for manhattan than a liberal democrat. Lhota already has the Staten Island fireman vote. Giuliani carried Staten Island big time agaiinst a liberal democrat Messinger by over 80% of the vote in 1997.

On his Twitter account, now only two weeks old, Rupert Murdoch of News
Corporation referred to the governor as “chicken Cuomo” while praising
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s ideas. Mr. Murdoch wrote: “Bloomberg’s
bold teacher proposals today terrific. How will chicken Cuomo respond?
If UFT refuses this money good teachers will scream.” He was referring
to the United Federation of Teachers, a union that often opposes
rigorous teacher evaluations, which figured prominently in the mayor’s
speech.
