    December 4, 2017 The Hon. Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., Secretary United States Department of Commerce 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20230 Re: Uncoated Groundwood Paper from Canada, Inv. Nos. C–122–862 and A-122-861 Dear Secretary Ross: On behalf of the thousands of employees working at the more than 1,100 newspapers that we publish in cities and towns across the United States, we urge you to heavily scrutinize the antidumping and countervailing duty petitions filed by North Pacific Paper Company (NORPAC) regarding uncoated groundwood paper from Canada, the paper used in newspaper production. We believe that these cases do not warrant the imposition of duties, which would have a very severe impact on our industry and many communities across the United States. NORPAC’s petitions are based on incorrect assessments of a changing market, and appear to be driven by the short-term investment strategies of the company’s hedge fund owners. The stated objectives of the petitions are flatly inconsistent with the views of the broader paper industry in the United States. The print newspaper industry has experienced an unprecedented decline for more than a decade as readers switch to digital media. Print subscriptions have declined more than 30 percent in the last ten years. Although newspapers have successfully increased digital readership, online advertising has proven to be much less lucrative than print advertising. As a result, newspapers have struggled to replace print revenue with online revenue, and print advertising continues to be the primary revenue source for local journalism. If Canadian imports of uncoated groundwood paper are subject to duties, prices in the whole newsprint market will be shocked and our supply chains will suffer.

  • The Media Landscape Section ONE Commercial Media
    PART ONE the media landscape SECTION ONE commercial media NEWSPAPERS RADIO TELEVISION CABLE SATELLITE INTERNET MOBILE 33 1 Newspapers Newspapers across the couNtry have experienced severe cutbacks during the past decade, which has undermined their ability to perform their role as the nation’s watchdog. Ad revenue dropped nearly 48 percent between 2005 and 2010,1 and with it the industry’s annual spending on reporting and editing capacity dropped by $1.6 billion, from 2006 to 2009, a reduction of more than 25 percent, according to the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism and Rick Edmonds of the Poynter Institute.2 The number of full-time journalists at daily newspapers fell from a peak of about 56,900 in 1989 to 41,600 in 2010, a level not seen since before the Watergate era.3 Early History: Cheap Paper, the Telegraph, and the Rise of the Independent Press The Founding Fathers believed newspapers to be so important to the development of the young country that they facilitated the creation of a robust distribution network. They provided newspapers with subsidized postal rates that were far below the actual costs of fielding, feeding, and caring for that day’s distribution technology: (horses). These policies changed the economics of newspapers, reducing publication costs and enabling publishers to expand beyond the confines of their hometowns. (Typical were theMansfield Gazetteand Ashtabula Sentinel in Ohio: a study found that in the 1820s a majority of their subscribers lived outside the central circulation area.)4 Laws also en- abled newspapers to swap copies with one another free of charge, which led to the frequent appropriation of content from other newspapers.
