I well remember a whole lot of now defunct N.Y.C. papers, as well as many now defunct department stores. When I was growing up there, there were eleven daily newspapers and that's not counting the foreign language and weekly ones.
Your newspaper list is pathetically incomplete! You left out The Village Voice ( still going ), The East Village Other ( defunct ), Amerikai Magyar Szo ( Hungarian ), The N.Y. Examiner, and quite a few others, defunct and still in print.
Since when, exactly, is the now defunct "SCREW" in the same category as a real newspaper?
Just how "young" do you assume I am ? LOL
BTW, I have a list somewhere in my files of all the New York publications that were run out of business in the 90s ~ kind of interesting. That list I cited really is kind of short.
Our office kept the record of the approved Periodicals Class publications.
I think we knew something about the newspaper disaster quite some time ago.
