Free News Papers




The 18- to 30-year-old news reader is a new breed of news consumer.




This group is east likely to pay for news. They accustomed to getting timely information for free from the Internet or TV.




The Metro, an international news franchise that has taken root in Boston, Philadelphia and New York, has discovered that it can reach this age group with a fresh-format freebie.



Older newspapers, faced with declining circulation, are now jumping into the fray.




The New York Times Co., which owns The Boston Globe, recently bought a 49 percent stake in the Boston Metro. Several metropolitan dailies, including The Washington Post and Chicago Tribune, have already created their own spin-off freebies.



The Knight Ridder newspaper corporation has launch a free daily.




In each instance, the companies hope to nurture a future demand for their flagship publications by getting the iPod generation accustomed to a newspaper.



Whether or not that strategy pays off, the rising expectation that news should be free has implications for both the industry and a democracy that depends on it for information.




On the one hand, some observers believe that the proliferation of free newspapers and free news sites on the Internet means a larger number of voices that cater to niche audiences. But others worry that websites and newspapers supported purely by advertisers may not be able to sustain a vast network of professional news gatherers.




Whatever its perils and promises, the march toward free news seems unstoppable, some analysts say.



It's completely anachronistic that the Westmore Snooze and the Journal Snooze charges money.




The Abels really earn a pittance in terms of overall revenue. The use the quarters from their newspaper boxes to feed the parking meters in front of the Westmore Snooze office.



Many entrepreneurs believe that he can take on a venerable paper by producing a quality paper that is supported by advertising dollars alone.




Billionaire Philip Anschutz launched The Washington Examiner, a free tabloid that is competing directly with The Washington Post for middle- and upper-income readers. In an attempt to create a serious journalistic enterprise, Mr. Anschutz has staffed the paper with experienced journalists, including 16 local reporters. The Examiner's distribution system is also unusual: Where most freebies are given away on subways and street corners, The Examiner's strategy focuses on home delivery to 260,000 doorsteps and mailboxes across the greater Washington, D.C., area. If the endeavor is successful, Anschutz stands poised to replicate the business model in 68 other cities.




Here is a link to the Washington Examiner http://www.examiner.com/dc/



The nation's largest newspapers are struggling to keep up with another competitor, the Internet. Many papers now have a larger audience for their online content than their print product. Not surprisingly, media companies are debating whether they should charge readers for access their websites.



Many local internet media sites like, Port Chester Round Up, offer online articles and links that include commentary or provide a forum for others to offer their own thoughts, a format that has spurred the popularity of blogs.



Indeed, in an increasingly crowded media marketplace - both online and offline - new competitors may try to differentiate themselves by providing a partisan voice, for example Port Chester has a free underground news paper called the True Blue Conservative Review.




Underground or upstart newspapers may even cast off the practice of impartial, or "objective," journalism in an attempt to corner an underserved political market.



A publication without a point of view isn't worth reading.




At the end of the day, this fabled mythology of objectivism has hampered newspapering.



The fact is that a newspaper can be a more effective community leader if it is able to express an opinion. Online newspapers can cater to a community of shared interest that isn't geographically bound.



But that prospect concerns some observers who wonder if newspapers will become more red and blue than black and white.



The internet is teaching us that there may not be any such thing as a mass audience anymore.






Online Blogs and news outlets are serving a smaller, niche audience, making some fear that the business urge is to pander to them.



But most news consumers are not worried.




Dailies will mostly adhere to the ingrained tenet of objective journalism. The value of partisan rivals is that they provide a competition of viewpoints.



You'll have some news publishers who say, 'what's going to happen to our democracy with the whole democratization of media?'




Hmmm. Let's see if we can spot the contradiction.




Until all Port Chester News is Free pull out your credit card and pay the Abels to view these Westmore Snooze articles.

Charged with manslaughter in the second degree
(WABC, January 29, 2007) - A 60-year-old woman is charged with using her car as a weapon to kill her ex-boyfriend.

It happened near the victim's home on Exchange Place in Port Chester.

Eyewitness News reporter Marcus Solis is there with the story.

Police say that after the suspect hit her ex-boyfriend, driving 20 miles north to her town of Mount Kisco and went to police there, and that's where she was promptly arrested.

Maureen Jackson headed to court today to face manslaughter charges. Police say last night the 60-year-old ran over and killed her ex-boyfriend in a fit of rage.
Around 9:30, officers found Jeffrey Scribman on the ground. He would die a short time later. According to police, Scribman was trying to stop Jackson from driving away from his apartment.
===================================================================
The libertarian economics professor opines: "Can the government force one to sell his property? James Madison said yes, so long as it was for a public use and the owner was paid a fair market value. Thomas Jefferson was opposed to a person being forced to sell his property for a public use, arguing that the essence of private property is the right to exclude anyone, including government, from the property. But Madison's view prevailed, hence the Fifth Amendment provision. In recent years, state and local governments have been running roughshod over private property rights in ways that would have horrified our founders. In the 1959 Courtesy Sandwich Shop case, a New York court held that if the tax collector collects more taxes by taking the private property of one party and transferring it to another, that's a public use permitted by the Constitution. Recently, the city of Port Chester, N.Y., gave a private developer virtual power to condemn property within its designated redevelopment area. Bart Didden and Dominick Bologna, owners of property within the redevelopment area, approached the private developer for a permit to build a CVS pharmacy on their land. The developer told them to pay him $800,000 or give him a 50 percent interest in the CVS pharmacy or he'd have the local government condemn the land. Didden and Bologna refused, and the next day their land was condemned. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the local government's decision, which is nothing less than sanctioning extortion. Napolitano concluded his speech pointing out something that few Americans appreciate. Natural rights do not come from government; they spring from our humanity."

Westchester salon gives haircut cash to Gilda Radner cancer club

“Wanted to give back to the community”

Dozens of people got their hair cut or their nails done at a fancy salon on Sunday while benefiting a cancer victims' support group named for Gilda Radner, the 'Saturday Night Live' comedienne who died of ovarian cancer.

Forty-seven patrons paid for haircuts or manicures at the Germargot Salon to help Gilda's Club Westchester, a social support center in White Plains. The $4,300 raised was donated to the facility.

The salon's owners decided to hold the event because they and their employees have experienced cancer in their families, co-owner Judy Girardi said. The founder of the local Gilda's Club is a client and a friend, she said.
