So Long Newsday After 32 Years |
|
|
Posted by Howard Fein on Mon Nov 2 09:09:00 2009 After purchasing NEWSDAY every day since the March 25, 1977 demise of the LONG ISLAND PRESS, I find I must switch my daily newspaper. Effective today, November 2, the newstand price of NEWSDAY is doubling from $.50 to $1.00. This is something I cannot tolerate, especially for a newspaper that has pretty much jettisoned any coverage of New York City in recent years.Till '95 there was an offshoot, NEW YORK NEWSDAY. It had its own headquarters on Park Avenue South. When it folded, the 'original' NEWSDAY based in Melville continued to run a New York City edition. It had a decent amount of city-based coverage. I could tell the difference when reading a Nassau or Suffolkd edition at someone's house, public library, or found on an LIRR train. But now, virtually all of the local news and ads are centered around Nassau and Suffolk- even in the 'City Edition' found at newstands in the five boroughs. If there's a huge event- usually an accident or sensational murder- that occurs in New York City proper, it will get token coverage. But a similar event taking place in Nassau or Suffolk- or involving a resident (such as the Schuler family)- will dominate for days at the expense of city, or even national and international coverage. It also seems impossible to get a Letter to the Editor published any more unless the writer is from Nassau or Suffolk. During the eighties and nineties before it was possible to vent on the Internet, I actually had a couple printed. Not over the past decade, though. The overriding intent to this doubling of the newstand price is to get more people to subscribe. Sorry, but that tactic backfires with me. As it is, more and more of NEWSDAY's content is only available on-line; there are many blurbs that say along the lines of "For more information/to continue this series/, see www.newsday.com. But not everyone has a computer. And maybe not everyone wants to go to the trouble of turning on the computer to read something that used to be in the newspaper you're already paying for. And now, TWICE as much. Then there's NEWSDAY's 'Early Sunday' edition, which is far easier to find in stores on Saturdays than the actual Saturday edition. It costs the same as the Sunday edition, and has all the feature sections; indeed, everything but the main news section. So why would someone essentially pay $1.25 on Saturday, and have to pay ANOTHER $1.25 the next day for 70% of the same paper that was purchased on Saturday? So effective today I start buying the DAILY NEWS. It won't be easy to make the adjustment. Your daily paper becomes part of you; everyone develops their own routine or style of reading it. The NEWS has a certain trashy aspect that can be offputting; though not as bad as the POST. I'll miss opening NEWSDAY every morning to see what sportswriter Wallace Matthews can possibly find to bitch about the Mets and Yankees; the comic strips; the occasional interesting story about LIRR deficiencies; the periodic coupons for a great rib joint in East Meadow. But not enough to pay a 100% price increase. Sorry! But at least I can still go on their (increasingly difficult to navigate) website. Ending a thirty-two and a half year habit won't be easy. But my hand has been forced. |

But now, virtually all of the local news and ads are centered around Nassau and Suffolk- even in the 'City Edition' found at newstands in the five boroughs.That's because it's a Nassau and Suffolk "LI" paper. Just like the NY Post and the Daily News are "city" papers, even though they have LI editions. During the eighties and nineties before it was possible to vent on the Internet, I actually had a couple printed. Not over the past decade, though. That's because you probably are thinking of when there was a "New York Newsday", which doesn't exist anymore, and hasn't in over 10 years or so. Ending a thirty-two and a half year habit won't be easy. But my hand has been forced. I don't think they care....their market is Nassau and Suffolk...they gave up on the city at least 10 years ago. This all said, I agree, it's a bit ridiculous to go from 50 cents to $1. What is the Post and Daily News? Are they still 50 cents? |

Newspapers are getting smaller and raising prices. That will kill them, but they would die anyway. NYC has strong papers, so you may not have seen how bad it's getting. Some of the local papers in LA aside from the LA Times are now just a handful of pages. It's quite shocking to think that we won't have many local newspapers in a few years. |

You can follow all things New York City in the Daily News and LuchAAA will keep you up to date on homicides and other felony crime out in Nassau and Suffolk - he provides a useful service in that respect.The New York Times went to online subscription coverage and then thankfully reversed itself after a couple years of headache. I get everything I need off the Internet/Radio/TV but there is something nice about the feel of the Sunday Times in my hand when I visit my folks in New Jersey. I suppose that is why I built a library in my house and filled a few bookshelves. B7 flying. |

Newspapers are getting smaller and raising prices.Papers are losing money all over the country, that is why NEwsday is doing this. They will die if they don't do it, as how they currently operate isn't working anymore....so this is an effort to "try" and stay afloat a bit longer. Their circulation will go down, but so will there costs, so it will buy them some time. NYC has strong papers, so you may not have seen how bad it's getting. NYC has a little niche because people still read papers on their way to work on the subway. That HAS to increase the local circulation of the NYC papers more than areas where people drive to work. If I still used the subway, I would still buy a print paper too. |

I get everything I need off the Internet/Radio/TVThat's what most people shifted too...that's why most newspapers are in trouble. NYC has a lot more people that buy print papers than other locations, because many people read on the subway, etc. But even so, the NY Post loses millions of dollars every year, the only reason why it is even still around, is because it's owner pumps money into it to keep it going, even though it's a money loser. If not for that, it would have been gone years ago. Most papers don't have that "luxury". |

"NYC has a lot more people that buy print papers than other locations, because many people read on the subway, etc."if they wire the subways for cell phones with data, that might hurt newspaper circulation. |

The left-leaning Newsday is about to learn a lesson that their left-leaning friends in politics seem to have trouble learning as well.Doubling your price ("tax rate") and introducing new fees for the on-line version ("new taxes") is not going to double their revenue. They will be lucky to have the same revenue one year from now that they have today. And their customers ("citizens") will be quite unhappy with them. ----- I stopped buying Newsday years ago, except for an occasional copy when I was getting on a train and had nothing to read. I can't imagine plunking down $1 for a copy of something that is a skeleton of it's former self. |

And we know that every day someone gets stabbed or shot in Brentwood, so is it really news anymore? :) Perhaps they should report on the days that no shootings take place, seeing it's so dangerous here! |

Yes, a daily newspaper that you can buy and read on the train can be a comforting way to start the day: last night's late scores, the next installment in a serialized comic strip, the review of the movie you're interested in seeing. And a way to get more details of a big story that recently broke but you don't have time to watch on the news before leaving the house.In that respect, it's kind of like the morning coffee. How many times has the POST been on the verge of closing, only to have a last-minute reprieve? It seems like a publicity stunt. F.A.O. Schwartz and the Bayside branch of Ben's Deli had heavily publicized impending closures that made the TV and newspapers. Guess what? They're both still open. How about that!! |

If there's no big new news, NEWSDAY tends to rehash the most recent horrible vehicular accident ("Schulers/Flynns Create Memorial Facebook Page") or the Lucero murder. And if there's no big new cultural event, we get yet another listing of all the super-trendy Hampton spots that most of its readership doesn't care about or can afford.Oh, and yet another listing of eateries that serve great hash browns, cherry Coke or cheesecake. Most of them are in Suffolk. When NEWSDAY fixes on a certain topic, it milks it to death. The past four or five Sunday LI LIFE sections have focused exclusively on Alzheimer's. An important topic, to be sure. But it just seems excessive. |

I also recently cancelled my home subscription to Newsday. I also find that there is way too much Nassau and Suffolk coverage at the expense of NYC. Like it or not, what happens in NYC has a much more profound effect than what happens in Riverhead, Miller Place or Mineola. |

Yeah, and I bet they leave of the train after they're done. And that's nothing new, my grandfather, who was a BMT motorman from the late 40s (I think) until his death in 1965, rarely had to buy a weekday paper, he just collected them from the train :) Only newspaper he actually purchased was the Sunday Daily News (bought the Saturday night edition (bulldog?) |

Then NEWSDAY shouldn't bother having a 'City' edition. Last week while waiting at a doctor office in Plainview, I took a 'Nassau' edition of NEWSDAY that was sitting there. It was page-for-page identical to the 'City' edition I bought that morning. |

They gave up on the city 10-15 years ago, when they discontinued their "New York Newsday" division.As for the "city" edition of Newsday....it's no different than the NY Post and the Daily News, both "city" papers, having "LI editions" which are almost identical to the city versions. |

Yes, but NEWSDAY continued to feature a good amount of NYC coverage until just a couple of years ago.If it hadn't doubled its price, I'd probably continue to buy it- largely out of laziness. My next-door neighbor always gives me her Sunday NEWSDAY when she's done with it. I'll still accept it. Cheapskate, aren't I? But if I buy the DAILY NEWS every day, I'll probably buy the Sunday edition as well, just to be consistent. |

Like it or not, what happens in NYC has a much more profound effect than what happens in Riverhead, Miller Place or Mineola.That's because their mission is to cover LI. It's like complaining that the Rockaways paper doesn't have enough coverage of Woodside or that the Chinese-language paper shortchanges coverage of Latino issues. |

I still don't understand why the DN would charge 75 cents for a thin Saturday edition.If they wanted to recoup the losses of the Saturday edition, they should offer the sunday comics and the entertainment section with Saturday or charge 75 cents for the bulkier Friday paper. |

True dat but you got to give him props for being at the forefront of criminal activity in the Queens - Nassau - Suffolk Triangle of Death. His reports of stabbings, shootings, assaults, and other felony crimes, to include long gun drive bys in the vicinity of bodegas, is usually timely and accurate and thus deserving of our praise. |

"This all said, I agree, it's a bit ridiculous to go from 50 cents to $1."Totally agreed. if they raised the Sunday paper to $2, fine, but $1 for all the weekday papers? |
