Owner of Herald
buys Houston Post
HOUSTON (AP) — An affiliate
of MediaNews Group, owner of the
Dallas Times Herald, said Thursday
it had acquired the Houston Post
from its Canadian owners for $150
million in cash, just months after be
ing rebuffed in an effort to buy the
larger Houston Chronicle.
The purchase of the Post from
Toronto Sun Publishing Co. of On
tario, Canada, marks the first time
daily newspapers in the state’s two
largest markets have come under
single ownership.
In March, MediaNews president
William Dean Singleton bid $415
million for the Houston Chronicle,
but was turned down by the non
profit Houston Endowment Inc.,
which signed a deal with the Hearst
Corp. for $400 million. Hearst later
upped its price to $415 million after
the state attorney general’s office
questioned the acceptance of the
lower bid.
Singleton said he has been trying
to buy the Post for a year, making
two previous offers. He would not
discuss any details of those offers.
The morning Post and the eve
ning Chronicle have been engaged
in a war similar to the battle between
the Dallas Times Herald and the
larger Dallas Morning News.
,? We firmly believe that, under
Texas ownership, the Post will thrive
and grow in its competition with the
New York-owned Chronicle, Hous
ton’s evening newspaper,” Singleton
said.
Gene McDavid, vice president and
general manager of the Chronicle,
said he expects the war to continue.
“The competition has been so se
vere, I can’t imagine anything could
happen to make it worse,” McDavid
said.
The Post’s circulation for the pe
riod ending March 31 was 309,400
daily and 356,424 Sundays. For the
same period, the Chronicle’s circula
tion was 406,084 daily and 531,528
Sundays, according to the Audit Bu
reau of Circulation.
Singleton said the Post was bought
by the Gloucester County Times
Inc., a Woodbury, N.J., affiliate of
Dallas-based MediaNews. The trans
action is expected to be completed
Nov. 1.
Toronto Sun Publishing bought
the Post in 1983 for $100 million
from H&C Communications Corp.,
privately held by Oveta Culp Hobby
of Houston and her son, Lt. Gov.
Bill Hobby.
Sun president Doug Creighton
said the newspaper has remained
E rofitable since then, despite trou-
led economic times.
1 P a 7. :
in cash, plus an additional amount
on March 31, 1993, based on the
gross revenues of the Post over a
five-year period ending Dec. 31,
1992, Singleton said.
Sun Publishing will get $1.25 for
each $1 of additional newspaper rev
enue over an annual base equal to
1987 revenues, he said.
Donald Hunt, the Posfs publisher
since 1983, will remain, and Sin
gleton said he did not plan any re
ductions in the staff of 1,200.
“Don Hunt and his management
team have met the challenge of op
erating profitably in the tough
Texas economy while showing im
pressive growth both in advertising
market share and circulation,” Sin
gleton said.
Singleton, 36, was little known in
Texas media circles until last year
“We firmly believe that,
under Texas ownership,
the Post will thrive and
grow in its competition
with the New York-owned
Chronicle, Houston’s eve
ning newspaper.”
— William Dean Sin
gleton, MediaNews presi
dent
when he acquired the Dallas Times
Herald for $110 million from Los
Angeles-based Times Mirror Co.
He started his career as a part-
time reporter at age 15 in his home
town of Graham, and six years later
bought his first newspaper for
$10,000.
Singleton teamed with Richard
Scudder, a fourth-generation New
Jersey newspaper publisher, to ac
quire the Times Herald.
With the addition of the Post, Me
diaNews Group will own 27 daily
newspapers and 28 non-dailies. The
Post will be the 11th newspaper
owned in Texas, one of eight states
where MediaNews publishes.
“Singleton has a knack for pro
ducing a profit pretty quickly in un
favorable situations,” said Bruce
Thorp, a newspaper industry analyst
with the Washington, D.C., office of
Lynch, Jones & Ryan. “He’ll work to
cut costs I’m sure as much as he
can.”
He likened the Post sale to the
purchase of the Times Herald.
He said he wasn’t suprised the
Post sold for so much less than the
Chronicle, “because the outlook for
the Houston Chronicle is much
more favorable.”
He cited the Chronicle’s advan
tages in circulation and advertising.
“The Post is not likely to be profit
able for several months,” Thorp
said. “It might require a comeback in
the Houston economy for it to pro
duce a profit.”
“The battle will be to keep the pa
per alive. Singleton is pretty deter
mined to do that I’m sure.”
Unexploined blood
confuses detectives,
elderly home owners
ATLANTA (AP) — Human
blood found on the floors and walls
of a house was not the same type as
that of an elderly dialysis patient
who lives there, but authorities still
don’t know where it came from, a
State Crime Lab official said Thurs
day.
“It could be a homicide, it could
be a hoax,” Larry Howard, the lab’s
director, said.
Detective Steve Cartwright said
investigators had found no evidence
of a crime, and police spokesman
Marion Lee said officers were not as
suming it was a hoax.
Police were called early Wednes
day to the home of William Winston,
79, and his wife, Minnie Clyde
Winston, 77, who reported finding
blood on the floors and walls of the
house they have rented for 22 years.
Lab tests Wednesday confirmed it
was human blood.
Howard said Thursday that test
results showed the blood was type O,
while Winston has type A. He said
more samples from Winston and his
wife would be tested, however.
Winston, whose blood is cleaned
by dialysis machine at a clinic be
cause of kidney problems, said he
didn’t know where the blood came
from.
“I’m not bleeding,” he said. “My
wife’s not bleeding. Nobody else was
here.”
Mrs. Winston said Thursday she
was weary of all the attention the bi
zarre discovery had brought.
“I still don’t know where the blood
came from, and I’m tired of all these
people asking me all these ques
tions,” she said. “If anybody comes
here today. I’m not going to open
my door.”
She said the six-room brick house
in southwest Atlanta was besieged
with calls and visits Wednesday from
those intrigued by the mystery.
“The phone rang all night, people
asking me questions,” she said. “I’m
fed up with all this.”
Mrs. Winston told police she;
stepped out of the bathtub late;
Tuesday to find the floor covered
with blood. She said she called her
husband to “come look at all this red
stuff coming out of the floors.”
Jury convicts
embassy guard
of failing in duty
QUANTICO, Va. (AP) — Marine
Sgt. Robert Stufflebeam, a former
Moscow Embassy guard, was ac
quitted by a military jury Thursday
night on charges that he had sex
with Soviet women and lied to au
thorities about it but convicted him
of a lesser charge.
After deliberating about 2 1 /s
hours, the Marine jury convicted
Stufflebeam on two counts of der
eliction of duty. Those misdemeanor
convictions, which could result in a
12-month military prison term,
stemmed from Stufflebeam drink
ing in an off-limits Moscow hotel bar
on two occasions.
“I feel very much relieved,” Stuf
flebeam said. “There was no way for
the government to prove their case.”
After the verdicts were read, the
military judge, Marine Lt. Col. Eli-
gah Clark, adjourned the proceed
ings for the day. Clark said the
court-martial would resume Friday
morning, when he would hear evi
dence to be used in sentencing Stuf
flebeam.
Stufflebeam could have faced 14
years in prison had he been con
victed on all nine counts.
