Subjects
*NEWSPAPER publishing, *TELEVISION broadcasting, *STRIKES & lockouts
Abstract

This article recalls the decision of the owner of the "Herald Tribune" to stop the operation of his newspaper in the U.S. in 1966. The boom of television broadcasting and strikes prompted the closure of the newspaper. The owner, John Hay Whitney, squandered his reputation and his money trying to keep the paper afloat. The newspaper provided a forum for strong writers such as Tom Wolfe, Dick Schaap, and Pete Hamill.
