Q L PR %:> T u I '04 V i m ABSTRACT THE PANAX CORPORATION: A CURRENT HISTORY BY Neila Edith Pomerantz The international communications company known as Panax, Incorporated,was started less than 20 years ago when John Peter McGoff, the son of a Pittsburgh steel worker, founded an FM radio station in a rural Michigan town. The company soon added several radio stations and then purchased daily and weekly newspapers. The marginally profitable radio and television stations were then abandoned as more weekly and daily papers were purchased, along with several printing companies. In the early 19703 advertising and promotion companies were acquired along with a shipping company, and by the mid-708 the growth of Panax had spread to include properties in Michigan, Ohio, Georgia, Florida, Illinois, California,and South Africa. In 1975 McGoff set up Star Newspaper Company in order to buy a California daily and a controlling share of United Press International Television News Service based in London, England. He also tried to purchase the Washington Star—News but failed because the sellers found the promise of alter- nate bidder Joseph Allbritton to retain much of the staff Neila Edith Pomerantz more palatable than McGoff's proposal of totally revamping the Star-News operation.

  • December 4, 2017 the Hon. Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., Secretary United States Department of Commerce 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW Washi
    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.

  • Contest Keeps Growing & Inspiring
    Embargo: Do not release before 12:01 a.m., Sunday, October 5, 2014 Contest Keeps Growing & Inspiring For the second year in a row, more members have submitted more entries in the Michigan Press Association’s Better Newspaper Contest. Members of Wisconsin Newspaper Association reviewed 3,417 entries submitted by 119 Michigan newspapers this year. The increased competition inspires all journalists to produce better work, which in turn, nurtures stronger communities. “As newspapers evolve and grow in these “platform agnostic” times, they remain the foundation of vibrant communities across the Great Lake State,” said MPA Executive Director Mike MacLaren. “We’ve seen double-digit increases in this contest and the tougher competition helps our members capture audience attention and build better communities.” The 2014 “Newspaper of the Year” award is presented to the top newspaper in eight circulation classes based on points accumulated (100 for first, 70 for second and 40 for third – points are doubled in the General Excellence contest) in all Editorial contest categories. Winners of those awards are listed below. *** Due to a clerical error, The Ann Arbor News was judged in Daily Class D. We are awarding Newspaper of the Year in Daily Class D to both the Grand Haven Tribune and The Ann Arbor News. MPA apologizes for the error.
