Which papers Lee owns: cjr.org radicalhippie.com Unusual agreements to ensure liberal bias in their papers: commonsensewonder.com The funniest thing is that Pulitzer thought it necessary to demand the leftists of Lee allow their St Louis paper to remain biased. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 9/19/2004: Mainstream Media Smear Continues Howard Witt at the Chicago Tribune published a story about Rathergate today with the headline: True or false: Blogs always tell it straight. It’s not the worst article I’ve seen about the scandal, he quotes me accurately, and the headline is more than fair, although the article also indulges in the “lurking conservatives” smear—as if the Chicago Tribune has any standing to complain about bias. But somehow in the republication of Witt’s article at the Billings Gazette, the headline was rewritten to convey the exact opposite message: Readers’ trust in bloggers in question: Internet critics of CBS turn out to have Republican ties. littlegreenfootballs.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Montana’s dominant media presence, Lee Enterprises, reported large revenue gains last year, but much of that came from the acquisition in April of 15 daily newspapers that had been owned by Howard Publications Inc. According to Lee’s new annual report, advertising revenues fell 2 percent in fiscal year 2002 when acquisitions are omitted. Classified ad revenues were down nearly 6 percent, and circulation revenues fell about 0.2 percent, in part because the year contained one less Sunday than usual. Circulation revenues fell despite a small increase companywide in daily papers distributed. The Billings Gazette gained just under a half-percent in daily circulation while dropping almost 1 percent on Sunday. The long-term circulation picture is much grimmer. Typical of daily papers nationwide, The Gazette is down 10 percent in daily and Sunday circulation since 1996. billingsnews.com
