Bangor Daily News
built 388 days ago
The Bangor Daily News is the sole survivor of a long list of newspapers that once published in the Queen City. Beginning with Peter Edes's Bangor Register in 1815, many daily and weekly papers published here. Some, like the Whig and Courier, gained great favor and lasted for decades; others folded after a year or two. With the use of vintage newspapers and slides, this seminar will explain why the News survived and others didn't. It will highlight political rivalries among newspaper editors, breaking news stories, and the impact television and the Internet have on today's newspaper market.

LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS, Nov. 26, 1999 -- Jesse L. Martin, halfway through his first season of "Law & Order," says he's been too busy working on the series to worry about how he's being accepted. Turns out the onetime Calista Flockhart love interest on "Ally McBeal" has been gaining a fan following of his own - in addition to a "Sexiest Newcomer" title from People magazine. Martin tells this column that if he hadn't become an actor, he would probably have been a teacher - and if it hadn't been for the help he got in school, he might have remained bashful and timid.
