Date: 03 October 1993

By Robert D. McFadden

With the successful completion of Rupert Murdoch's long struggle to buy back The New York Post, newspaper analysts and executives say New York City's three money-losing tabloid newspapers appear to be poised on the brink of a strange new era of resilient nonprosperity. It is shaping up, these experts say, as an extended period of unaccustomed stability for The Post, The Daily News and New York Newsday, based on the deep pockets of their owners -- a period of labor peace and financial security that seemed highly unlikely even a few months ago.

DEEP inside a Trump Tower suite, from behind a desk the size of a city sidewalk, Steven Hoffenberg, debt-collection magnate and fledgling publisher, held forth about Women and Journalism.

Death Benefits

Date: 03 October 1993

LOOKING BACK OVER a career, I wonder whether perhaps the opportunity to come to terms with death was not a major fringe benefit of my calling. I'm not among the few journalists who grew rich on news, nor among the fewer still who enjoy the public esteem accorded to entertainment stars. But I wouldn't have traded journalism for another calling; our trade is nearly always fun, it is often enlightening and it is occasionally uplifting. More to the point, journalism helps its practitioners accept the ubiquity of death, permitting us to enter the heathen equivalent of a state of grace: a gift not to be scorned.

After months of turmoil, The New York Post begins a new lease on life under the stern golden hand of Rupert Murdoch today, starting with the assembling of a new editorial and business staff to replace members of the Newspaper Guild of New York, whose strike fell apart last week. At the request of the defeated guild's leadership, John Cardinal O'Connor appealed to Mr. Murdoch yesterday to be fair to 287 guild members -- reporters, editors and advertising and circulation staff -- who lost their jobs in the climactic confrontation, and may or may not be rehired.

Reporters, editors and advertising workers at The New York Post voted yesterday to end their bitter weeklong strike, but it remained uncertain whether they would have jobs to return to as the paper's new owner, Rupert Murdoch, planned to force them to reapply. At the headquarters of their union, the Newspaper Guild of New York, the workers who had defiantly walked off the job on Monday, shutting down The Post for three days, voted to take down their picket line at noon on Monday and acquiesce to Mr. Murdoch's demand. The vote followed an emotional, at times angry, 90-minute meeting yesterday.

Date: 03 October 1993

To the Editor: An article about the Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein [ "Still Subversive After All These Years," Sept. 19 ] assures us that "his first one-man show . . . sold out before it opened."
