Final Edition--128 Years of Service Ending Headline; 129th Year No. 219 Friday August 7 1981

1981réf. 81559Washington DC: The Washington Star Company 1981. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Newspaper. Good. Some page browning noted. The Washington Star previously known as the Washington Star-News and the Washington Evening Star was a daily afternoon newspaper published in Washington D.C. between 1852 and 1981. The Sunday edition was known as the Sunday Star. The paper was renamed several times before becoming Washington Star by the late 1970s. For most of that time it was the city's newspaper of record and the longtime home to columnist Mary McGrory and cartoonist Clifford K. Berryman. On August 7 1981 after 128 years the Washington Star ceased publication and filed for bankruptcy. On February 2 1978 Time Inc. purchased the Star for $20 million. Their flagship magazine Time was the arch-rival to Newsweek which was published by The Washington Post Company. Time Inc.'s president James R. Shepley convinced Time's board of directors that owning a daily newspaper in the national capital would bring a unique sense of prestige and political access. The paper's labor unions agreed to work concessions that Shepley demanded. An effort to draw readers with localized special "zonal" metro news sections however did little to help circulation. The Star lacked the resources to produce the sort of ultra-local coverage zonal editions demanded and ended up running many of the same regional stories in all of its local sections. An economic downturn resulted in monthly losses of over $1 million. Overall the Star lost some $85 million following the acquisition before Time's board decided to give up. On August 7 1981 after 128 years The Washington Star ceased publication. From information found on-line: After word came that the Washington Star would cease publication on August 7 the first reaction of the talented young reporters on the paper was what you might expect: shock dismay grief. But within a few days according to several of them these same young reporters began to shudder each time they heard a rumor that someone somehow might step in and save the paper at the last moment. Job offers from the New York Times the Washington Post the Wall Street Journal and other prestigious publications had begun to pour in and they were contingent on the folding of the Star. It is compelling testimony to the paper's evisceration under the management of Time Inc. that its disappearance would so clearly provide a career boost to many of the people who worked for it. The Washington Star was a good newspaper possibly the best afternoon paper in the country with some of the finest journalists in the profession: Mary McGrory John Fialka Lyle Denniston Jack Germond Jules Witcover. But it has been pointed out just as consistently that there was no reason for people who read the Washington Post in the morning to read the Washington Star in the afternoon. The Star three years and $85 million after being bought by Time Inc. had become lifeless predictable and superfluous. For decades the leitmotif of the newspaper business has been the dirge. Evening papers in particular have been vulnerable for a variety of reasons: a switch to television for evening news; later starting work days which leave time to read a morning paper; the difficulty of distribution through evening rush hour. Added to this the Star was forced to compete with one of the strongest and best newspapers in the country. Perhaps nothing could have saved Washington from becoming a one-newspaper town. But in spite of its $85 million. Time Inc. never brought to it the commitment and daring of the company which early in its existence created Time Life and Fortune. It seems that since the Star couldn't be plugged into a formula for success that it was just a matter of time before Time Inc. cut its losses. There is no guarantee that if Time Inc. had done it right-if it had fulfilled people's expectations and used its resources and the Star's staff to create something glorious-it would have as newspapers must made money. But Time Inc. didn't do it right. And this city's mourning of another lost voice is tinged with regret for what that voice might have been. The Washington Star Company unknown

The Evening Star EXTRA--President is Killed by Sniper in Texas Headline; 111th Year No. 326. Friday November 22 1963

1963réf. 81557Washington DC: The Evening Star Newspaper Company 1963. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Newspaper. Good. 76 pages. John Fitzgerald Kennedy the 35th President of the United States was assassinated on Friday November 22 1963 at 12:30 p.m. Central Standard Time in Dallas Texas while riding in a presidential motorcade through Dealey Plaza. Kennedy was riding with his wife Jacqueline Texas Governor John Connally and Connally's wife Nellie when he was fatally shot by former U.S. Marine Lee Harvey Oswald firing in ambush from a nearby building. Governor Connally was seriously wounded in the attack. The motorcade rushed to Parkland Memorial Hospital where Kennedy was pronounced dead about 30 minutes after the shooting; Connally recovered. Oswald was arrested by the Dallas Police Department 70 minutes after the initial shooting. Oswald was charged under Texas state law with the murder of Kennedy as well as that of Dallas policeman J. D. Tippit who had been fatally shot a short time after the assassination. At 11:21 a.m. November 24 1963 as live television cameras were covering his transfer from the city jail to the county jail Oswald was fatally shot in the basement of Dallas Police Headquarters by Dallas nightclub operator Jack Ruby. After a 10-month investigation the Warren Commission concluded that Oswald assassinated Kennedy that Oswald had acted entirely alone and that Ruby had acted alone in killing Oswald. Kennedy was the eighth and most recent US President to die in office and the fourth following Lincoln Garfield and McKinley to be assassinated. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson automatically became president upon Kennedy's death. The Washington Star previously known as the Washington Star-News and the Washington Evening Star was a daily afternoon newspaper published in Washington D.C. between 1852 and 1981. The Sunday edition was known as the Sunday Star.1 The paper was renamed several times before becoming Washington Star by the late 1970s. For most of that time it was the city's newspaper of record and the longtime home to columnist Mary McGrory and cartoonist Clifford K. Berryman. On August 7 1981 after 128 years the Washington Star ceased publication and filed for bankruptcy. In the bankruptcy sale The Washington Post purchased the land and buildings owned by the Star including its printing presses. The Washington Star was founded on December 16 1852 by Captain Joseph Borrows Tate. It was originally headquartered in Washington's "Newspaper Row" on Pennsylvania Avenue. Tate named the paper The Daily Evening Star. In 1853 Texas surveyor and newspaper entrepreneur William Douglas Wallach purchased the paper. As the sole owner of the paper for the next 14 years Wallach built up the paper by capitalizing on reporting of the American Civil War among other things. In 1867 a three-man consortium of Crosby Stuart Noyes Samuel H. Kauffmann and George W. Adams acquired the paper with each of the investors putting up $33333.33. The Noyes-Kauffmann-Adams interests would own the paper for the next four generations. The next major change to the newspaper came in 1938 when the three owning families diversified their interests. On May 1 the Star purchased the M. A. Leese Radio Corporation and acquired Washington's oldest radio station WMAL in the process. Renamed the Evening Star Broadcasting Company the 1938 acquisition would figure later in the 1981 demise of the newspaper. The Star's influence and circulation peaked in the 1950s; it constructed a new printing plant in Southeast Washington capable of printing millions of copies but found itself unable to cope with changing times. Nearly all top editorial and business staff jobs were held by members of the owning families. Suburbanization and television were accelerating the decline of evening newspapers in favor of morning dailies. The Post meanwhile acquired and merged with its morning rival the Times-Herald in 1954 and steadily drew readers and advertisers away from the falling Star. By the 1960s the Post was Washington's leading newspaper. In 1972 the Star purchased and absorbed one of Washington's few remaining competing newspapers The Washington Daily News. For a short period of time after the merger both "The Evening Star" and "The Washington Daily News" mastheads appeared on the front page. The paper soon was retitled "Washington Star News" and finally "The Washington Star" by the late 1970s. The Evening Star Newspaper Company unknown
