One of the bitterest battles for newspaper supremacy in a major American city ended today as the owners of The Detroit News and The Detroit Free Press agreed to merge all but the news operations of the two papers. Executives of the Gannett Company, which owns The News, and Knight-Ridder Newspapers Inc., which owns The Free Press, said the action was being taken to stanch large losses at the newspapers. In the last five years, they said, The Free Press has lost more than $35 million and The News, which carries more advertising, more than $20 million. Allen H. Neuharth, chairman of Gannett, which will have the upper hand in managing the combined operations, told News employees this morning that the losses ''and present-day economics of newspaper publishing clearly indicate that this market cannot support two high-quality, high-cost independent newspapers.''

OPPOSITION IS SEEN ON DETROIT LINKUP
Date: 15 April 1986

Yesterday's announcement that The Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News had agreed to merge came as no surprise to newspaper analysts who have watched them wage a costly competitive war. By merging production, advertising and circulation operations, while retaining separate news departments, the two newspapers could quickly become very profitable after years of losses. But some experts in newspaper antitrust law predict that the proposed Free Press-News joint operating agreement, known in the industry as a j.o.a., will prompt a fierce legal challenge. They say competing suburban newspapers and unions are likely to oppose the merger on the ground that the resulting mega-daily would represent an economic monopoly that would thwart suburban competition and eliminate jobs.

Vivid reports of the American air strikes in Libya - of thundering explosions, jets roaring overhead and fires dancing on the horizon of a darkened city - were broadcast live to nationwide audiences last night by American network correspondents in Tripoli. Though confined to their hotel during the bombing and unable to provide pictures to accompany their audio reports, the correspondents nonetheless gave dramatic running accounts of what they could see and hear from windows and balconies overlooking the city and the harbor. They told of explosions that shook their building, the pounding of antiaircraft guns and the scream of planes coming in. Some also told of bursts of tracer fire in the night sky and fires leaping from targets that could not be identified.

Comic Strip Suspended For Political Criticism
Date: 16 April 1986
AP
The Los Angeles Times has suspended the comic strip Doonesbury for its criticism of Reagan Administration appointees accused of misconduct. In place of the strip, The Times published a brief notice that the episodes scheduled for this week would not appear on the ground that they contained ''damaging material we know to be overdrawn and unfair.'' ''We feel this week's 'Doonesbury' grossly exaggerates the real and alleged transgressions of many Reagan Administration appointees,'' the newspaper said in the notice, which appeared Monday and today.
