    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.

Her report concludes with 10 communities rely on for news, information, and suggestions for developing a more robust ecosystem engagement. Healthy news ecosystems are diverse, in North Carolina, ranging from convening interconnected, sustainable, and deeply engaged with conversations to forming partnerships to tackling their communities. When an ecosystem is healthy, the concrete problems by building practical solutions. whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Democracy Fund is grateful for the thoughtful Looking at local news and information through this reporting and analysis by Morgan and Sill, who are ecosystem lens raises new, compelling questions. well-connected journalists and students of media For example, instead of asking how do we save in the state.

  • Miami Herald, Nuevo Herald and Radio Martí Epilogue
    CSJ‐ 10 ‐ 0026.0 When the story is us: Miami Herald, Nuevo Herald and Radio Martí Epilogue On the evening of Monday, October 2, 2006, McClatchy Vice President‐News Howard Weaver and Vice President‐Operations Frank Whittaker convened an extraordinary meeting of the Miami Herald Media Company’s executive committee at Miami’s Mandarin Hotel. There, the McClatchy executives announced that the reporters fired from El Nuevo Herald (ENH) on September 7 would be rehired, that Publisher Jesús Díaz had resigned, and that David Landsberg—former general manager and advertising vice president—would be the new publisher.1 Díaz resigned formally the following morning, Tuesday, October 3. He also announced the rehire of the ENH journalists; after further investigation, the Miami Herald had found that a total 49 Miami‐area fulltime journalists or news contributors had been paid by Radio/TV Martí from October 2001‐August 2006. That included eight Nuevo Herald staff members, and 29 of its freelancers.2 Díaz wrote in a statement that he believed the journalists violated “widely accepted principles of journalist ethics.” But, he added: Our policies prohibiting such behavior may have been ambiguously communicated, inconsistently applied and widely misunderstood over many years in the El Nuevo Herald newsroom… I realize and regret that the events of the past three weeks have created an environment that no longer allows me to lead our newspapers in a manner most beneficial for our newspapers, our readers and our community.3 1 Details from author’s interview with Humberto Castelló on April 13, 2009, in Miami. Some reported that Díaz had tendered his resignation two weeks earlier, but stayed on at McClatchy’s request until they could name a replacement.

    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.
