The article comments on the chances of survival of the New York conservative paper New York Post, as of 1993. Alexander Hamilton founded the newspaper 192 years ago. Then it was bought by Rupert Murdoch in 1977 and a racier tabloid style was introduced. Furthermore, the paper was moved to the right and circulation was boosted to nearly a million. Yet the populist conservatism of Murdoch's Post was hated by the liberal establishment. Due to a conflict with Senator Teddy Kennedy, Murdoch was forced to sell the Post, passing it on to developer Peter Kalikow. After this, the staff of the Post suffered through cut backs and salary cuts. When Kalikow's fortunes sagged, lost readers and advertisers, he passed the Post off to financier Steven Hoffenberg. Then it was wrested from Hoffenberg by aging parking-garage magnate Abe Hirschfield. Hirschfield fired editor-in-chief Peter Hamill and then announced 75 more firings. Hirschfield then was a rebellion from practically everyone from the Post.

Like many local history collections nationwide, BPL's Brooklyn Collection was eager to digitize materials for improved access, especially the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. In 2001, the library received an Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) National Leadership Grant to digitize the microfilm of the Eagle from 1841 to 1902. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, founded in 1841, was Brooklyn's newspaper of record. After the Eagle ceased publication in 1955, BPL received the paper's morgue and related files. Today, they are the centerpiece of the Brooklyn Collection, which also houses books, photographs from the Eagle and from other photographers, newspaper clipping files, and manuscripts, prints, and illustrations.

Quality control problems can wreak havoc with any business, especially when a reputation for high quality is a crucial ingredient of its brand. Ask the New York Times, which is having to deal with its own version of Ford's unsafe Firestone tires, and Coca-Cola's Belgian taste troubles. The glitch in question is Jayson Blair, lately a fast-rising star on what is widely regarded, not least by itself, as the world's leading newspaper of record, exemplified by its slogan, "All the News That's Fit to Print". Alas, it turns out that his college degree was bogus, and much of the acclaimed reporting he did, according to an internal Times inquiry, appears to have been invented or pasted together from the reporting of others. To the credit of Times journalists, some had given early warning about Mr Blair to their superiors. How much damage Mr Blair has done to the newspaper's brand is unclear. The Times confirms that the Justice Department is taking an as yet unspecified interest. In the past year of business scandals, the Times has not shied away from making tough calls, including criticizing a lack of accountability of bosses for corporate failures. The executive editor, Howell Raines, won plaudits after being appointed two years ago and quickly guided the paper to seven Pulitzer Prizes.
