    HERBERT M. “TIPPEN” DAVIDSON, JR. BIOGRAPHY Mr. Davidson, currently the publisher of the Daytona News Journal , was born in Chicago, Illinois on August 10, 1925. His grandfather, Julius Davidson, and father, Herbert M. Davidson, jointly acquired the Daytona News Journal in December, 1928. The paper was a small evening paper with a circulation of only 4,400.

He learned the business quickly and worked as city editor, managing editor, general manager and in 1985, was named publisher and co-editor with his wife. As of 2001, the Daytona Beach paper employs around 850 people and has a daily circulation of approximately 100,000 with 119,000 on Sunday. It is, after the St. Petersburg Times, the second largest independently owned newspaper in the state. SUMMARY During his interview, Tippen Davidson talks about how his grandfather and parents took over the newspaper and the difficult times they faced during the Depression. He mentions his fathers’ impact on the county’s decision to go with voting machines and signature verification to cut down on graft and corruption at the voting box. He also FNP 53 Davidson page 2 explains that the paper was the first to go to offset printing, was innovative in its use of color and constantly invested in the latest technology.

  • About a Quarter of Large U.S. Newspapers Laid Off Staff in 2018
    EMBARGOED COPY – NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION UNTIL 9:30 A.M. EDT, AUG. 1, 2019 About a quarter of large U.S. newspapers laid off staff in 2018 BY ELIZABETH GRIECO Layoffs continue to pummel staff at U.S. newspapers. Roughly a quarter of papers with an average Sunday circulation of 50,000 or more experienced layoffs in 2018, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis. The layoffs come on top of the roughly one-third of papers in the same circulation range that experienced layoffs in 2017. What’s more, the number of jobs typically cut by newspapers in 2018 tended to be higher than in the year before. Mid-market newspapers were the most likely to suffer layoffs in 2018 – unlike in 2017, when the largest papers most frequently saw cutbacks. Meanwhile, digital-native news outlets also faced continued layoffs: In 2018, 14% of the highest- traffic digital-native news outlets went through layoffs, down slightly from one-in-five in 2017. The following analysis examines layoffs at large newspapers and digital-native news outlets during the full 2017 and 2018 calendar years. An earlier analysis by the Center looked at layoffs at news organizations covering the period from January 2017 to April 2018. Roughly a third of newspapers that had layoffs in 2018 saw multiple rounds About one-in-four U.S. newspapers with an average Sunday circulation of 50,000 or higher (27%) experienced one or more publicly reported layoffs in 2018, according to the study, which examined EMBARGOED COPY – NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION UNTIL 9:30 A.M.

    November 7, 2014 Laura Lovrien Liberty Publishers Services Orbital Publishing Group P.O. Box 2489 White City, OR 97503 Re: Cease and Desist Distribution of Deceptive Subscription Notices Dear Ms. Lovrien: The undersigned represent the Newspaper Association of America (“NAA”), a nonprofit organization that represents daily newspapers and their multiplatform businesses in the United States and Canada. It has come to our attention that companies operating under various names have been sending subscription renewal notices and new subscription offers to both subscribers and non-subscribers of various NAA member newspapers. These notices falsely imply that they are sent on behalf of a member newspaper and falsely represent that the consumer is obtaining a favorable price. In reality, these notices are not authorized by our member newspapers, and often quote prices that far exceed the actual subscription price. We understand that the companies sending these deceptive subscription renewal notices operate under many different names, but that many of them are subsidiaries or affiliates of Liberty Publishers Services or Orbital Publishing Group, Inc. We have sent this letter to this address because it is cited on many of the deceptive notices. Liberty Publishers Services, Orbital Publishing Group, and their corporate parents, subsidiaries, and other affiliated entities, distributors, assigns, licensees and the respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents of the foregoing, including but not limited to the entities listed in Attachment A (collectively, “Liberty Publishers Services” and/or “Orbital Publishing Group”), are not authorized by us or any of our member newspapers to send these notices. Our member newspapers do not and have not enlisted Liberty Publishers Services or Orbital Publishing Group for this purpose and Liberty Publishers Services and Orbital Publishing Group are not authorized to hold themselves out in any way as agents who can process payments from consumers to purchase subscriptions to our member newspapers.

  • Delaware Digital Newspaper Project
    Delaware 2015 - Narrative Narrative 1. History and scope of the project Although Delaware was the first state to ratify the Constitution on December 7, 1787, it was not one of the original colonies. Claimed successively by Sweden, Holland, and England, the area that comprises modern Delaware became a part of William Penn’s colony by the end of the seventeenth century. Its three counties, Sussex, Kent, and New Castle, were administered by the colonial governor in Philadelphia, and were known collectively as the three “lower” colonies of Pennsylvania. The complexity of the political development of the state is disproportionate to its diminutive size and population. As a border state during the Civil War, Delaware was neither a southern state nor a northern one. Although a scant one hundred miles separate its largest city, Wilmington, in northern New Castle County, from the southern border dividing Sussex County from the state of Maryland, the cultural and political divisions within Delaware are almost as great as those dividing New England from the southern states. It was an understated but stubbornly held sense of difference that led to Methodist Delaware’s autonomy from Quaker Pennsylvania and that today characterizes the relationship among its three counties. Single counties in some of the nation’s western states comprise a greater geographic area than does the state of Delaware, and Delaware’s total population of 925,000 is surpassed by many cities throughout the country. Yet for all of its geographic compactness and limited population, the three counties that comprise the state remain startlingly diverse. The marked ethnic and cultural differences between industrial New Castle County in the north, the agricultural Sussex County in the south, and the transitional Kent County in the center of the state are, and have always been, reflected in the newspapers printed in the state.
