The Enquirer is “new” media?

Only in the same way that a different use of AM radio can be considered "new" media. The Enquirer has remade itself to keep sales up, and now covers political and celebrity stories much better than they used to. In the 70's, they ran the "Hitler is Alive" stories and stuff like that, but they and the Star moved beyond that, while the Weekly World News and the Sun hammed it up even more. The Globe continues to just make stuff up.

Somewhere along the way, the Enquirer got it first and right often enough to be worth checking out.

That's the beauty of capitalism - walk away from a market as the PPM has, and someone will 'Rush' (pun intended) to fill the void.
