Why I Can’t Quit the New York Post

Worse, I am not sure of my desire. If you are far away and something big happens, I usually ask a friend if he can stop at the newspapers selling, so I don’t miss the printed version of a good address on the front pages. If you are somewhere with a critical block of a vacation in New York, I started on foot, knowing that there is likely a mail close. In August, 2022, after the MA-A-Lago FBI raid, in search of alleged classified documents, it rushed to a wine store in Martha’s Vineyard and recorded a copy. On the cover was Trump, the cheeks ablush. the address: “Have you just asked“
Perhaps I am simply interested in this sound, this loud and fashionable sound – the domatic tone, the direct address, the feeling of wandering in the ear of power and hears everywhere, from Dyckman to Dyker Heights.
the mailThe oldest daily newspaper in the United States, was founded in 1801 by Alexander Hamilton. With a group of his colleagues and the doctor, Hamilton collected the money to create a wide paper, then called Evening PostIn order to express the group’s rejection of the newly -elected president, Thomas Jefferson, and his popular party, the Republican Democrats. In that year, Jefferson avoided delivering an annual speech to the state to Congress, instead, he presented a letter in the form of a speech. Hamilton – who has his new paper to rotate like Ferrari through the background of a small city – stipulates a series of acidic articles, one by one, the “strange tampering” of his opponent’s arguments. He wrote that the president’s message is “a performance that must be all those who are concerned about the safety of our government, in order to respect and well -standing our nation.” Anxiety was emphasized as a kind of duty, as it made the high risks of personal revenge that disguised as news – was exaggerated from the beginning.
Over the decades and the emancipations that followed, mail Take many reasons, including the abolition of the punishment, the collective bargaining, and the opposition to central banking services. (There is a strain of continuity is its interest in theatrical arts: I have always used a critic of the theater.) In 1939, the financial heir bought Dorothy Chef the paper and turned it into a largely liberal Tabloide newspaper, especially among the upper Jewish classes in the middle. Social conscious journalists’ heroes such as Murray Kimpton and Hayt Hamil were worked as a column servant. By the 1970s, the sleepy sleepiness was in; The paper was more respectful than reading. In 1962, Chef declared herself editor – she managed Nora Everon, a mail A graduate, “changed the focus of the paper from hard beating, investigation and liberal to butter, gossip, and the direction of the woman”-but she resisted spending the money needed to compete in the crowded tabloid market.
The popular narration tends to be somewhat unfair with a chef, with a focus too much on the late decline and ignoring the true distinction that it has mail Often it rose. Kimpton and Hamil were the icons of their time, and in 1975, Chef Frank Rich, who turned into one of the finest critics of the drama in the late twentieth century. Under the coff hour, the paper appeared in great artwork. In the poem “The Day Lady Diens”, which avoids the sadness of avoiding, from 1964, Frank O’Hara rid the name of Frank O’Hara mail He also informed him of the death of one of his heroes, Billy Holiday:
“A paper of debris: an oral history of the New York Post, 1976-2024” (Evance Books), by the former mail Susan Molkahi and Frank Digakomo, at the end of the era of Chef. The book is a fun pile of quotes mail Employees and other voices in the last century. By the end of the Chef period, mail “I needed a shot from adrenaline,” says David Sefman, former head of the city hall office.
This adrenaline was injected into the form of Robert Murdoch, who bought the paper in 1976. He was a great Australian, ambitious, like Chef, and his heir: his late father had diced him a newspaper, and the beginnings of the empire. Then in London, his teeth were cut off on semi -field acquisitions World news and sunMurdoch Satanic Tablebide style.
Many Pillars Current practices – a dirty position towards accurate support, were usually imported, and usually to put a woman who wear tight clothes on page 3, which is the focus on photography on the lengthy text – from the United Kingdom alongside Marduk, who are cadres of appearances, Australians, and the British, who intimidated them from their female audiences.
Change in allergies made mail More fun, if it is also less The paper chose the sides, which helped the democratic tendant to conservatives Ed Koch at Gracie Palace before devoting his advertising energy to conservatives, including Giuliani. Its correspondents covered the city insolent and aggressively. One of Murdoch’s first movements was to intensify paper pictures in color and size. In 1979, when Carmin Gallenti, head of the Bonano family for the crime, was killed, photographer Hull Goldberg burned a roof in Brooklyn to get a snapshot of the cold gangs. “There is Carmin,” as he says with clear joy, in “a paper of debris,” with his cigar in his mouth and the detonation of his eye. I start making pictures.
These huge pictures were on the front page that caught me first as a child. I was riding a train in the city center with my mother, with a social interest in reading materials for my colleagues in reading. Men who wear clothes, dress shoes and totscoats TimesFolded in tight works similar to rectangles. Among the working class clearly, newspapers were more popular. News daily Permanent readers, black and browner. the Pillars Readers tend to be men, and often white men in jeans are confined to gravel and paint.
My mother, just like many adults I knew – the black people who worked to live, perfect education, and take over, especially, as an ambition for their children, a way to make the future more free – mail Being a mind for people with low levels of knowledge of reading and writing. the news She was fine from her lights, if you don’t have much time and need to pick up. However, in the afternoon after the church, it caused Sunday Times. Which – which It was a paper.
I agreed after that, and I still do. the TimesChock-Full of facts, appear on my steps every morning. However, in that train a long time ago, I was always dealing with mailIt moves in the word scene of the heinous titles and frankness of the images. the mail I addressed itself to the exciting city and the unreasonable city that I started to love, and which I could not always feel in Times. At some point in the thirties, I began to sneak copies of mailRead the outdoor pieces and throw them away, like a smoker hiding his habit.
in Pillars The old headquarters from 1970 to 1995, near the South Street Port-in its early days, tends a suitable area for the activity of the gangs-to wash it. One of these numbers, the subject of the contradictory installation in “Paper of Wreckage”, is the clerk and editor Steve Denvi, the favorite lieutenant of Murdoch, was his tactics, personal and journalistic, particularly evil.
As a legend, Dunleavy pretended to be a sadness consultant in a trick to get an exclusive interview with Stacy Masskovic’s mother, the last victim of the murderer, the series known as Ibn Sam. Usually, he is wearing his gentle clothes, wearing his gentle clothes, and erased the mother of Moskovitz, with whom she grew Note News. In another story, practiced dunavy sex – Outdours, at the top of the snow – with the fiancé of one of his colleagues. In the book, the burnt party, which is editor, laughs only, and they raise it in the crazy old old days.
Dunleavy was in many ways the true embodiment of the Murdoch system. He knew how to find a good story and extend it for weeks, and even years. It was also publicly and escalated. His racism – like the ongoing racism of Murdoch mail– Goodly documented in the “debris sheet”. Once, Dunlevy was glowing from the attempts to diversify the rows of reports, caught a black colleague, Greg Morris, in his appreciation, “There is a lot of Negroes in the news room.” Another black writer, Ramona Garns, had to calm Morris, as Morris remembers:
“I will say this about the British and the Australians,” Garns says. There was no smile in your face and stabbing in the back. mail Its size can be transformed at the city level into risky decibel, with severe consequences at times. In the aftermath of the Central Park ride, in 1989, when a twenty -eight -year -old woman was brutally raped and beaten in a coma, mail The confessions – which have been forced – and the names and addresses of young people known today as the five justifications are urged on a daily basis to condemn the crime. Yusef Salaam, one of the five, who is now working on the New York City Council, summarized his experience with the paper with more thyroid gland than he deserves: ” mail It was one of the most negative players in terms of its negative coverage black community.”
Other holes indicate in Pillars office. We talk a lot these days about the foolishness of the Contemporary Human Resources Department, but any one of these stories must give a coach of stroke. There was, for example, a man named Alan Whitney, “wore the devil’s horns and sent internal pants to employees through the internal mail.” “Psycho” is one of Pillars The favorite words of the bad guys, as well as “crawl”. As it turns out, the skin is known as they speak.
“Al -Hadam Paper” How to Pillars Often, reporters came from local clothes with a good reputation Daysday Day, In Long Island, but the reputation of the tablide has made it difficult for them to get jobs in the “straight” press after their tour of the seaports, although more high -end publications are often mining mail For ideas. One of the correspondents says: “The glossy magazines in Condi Nast will get a gossip, where the trainees are the stories of Zerox Tablucid, and they are configuring them together, and distributing them to all editors in the morning so that the editors can steal stories and set the pieces of thought.”
It is easy to understand the attractiveness of these laughing, mature elements to develop long. Writer and historian Gary Wales, in his great book, Pulitzer Prize, “Lincoln in Gettepiert: Words that re -united America” (1992), convincingly argues that the economy and Lincoln language strength was partially a reflection of the emerging technology of his time: “railways, telegraph, transportation.” Tesse Lincoln, frequent strands of building simple sentence – “We cannot dedicate, we cannot devote, we cannot this land” – something relationship with the idol of his new community for speed. the Pillars In contrast, the Sonic language borrows from violence: it looks like weapons, insists on its goals with the impressive rhythm. The writer was not urgent, Sindy Adams, Porsche’s belt is the perfect distillation of Pillars style. Here is “Adams Riteri” – the nostalgia and reactionary sarcasm – in the old New York:
