- <p> Until last week Dallas had the increasingly rare distinction
- of being a two-newspaper town. The rivalry between the Morning
- News (daily circ. 406,800) and the Times Herald (200,700) was a
- spirited one. But the old-fashioned newspaper war finally had
- a casualty. The 112-year-old Times Herald said last week it
- would cease publication and sell its assets for $55 million to
- A.H. Belo, the parent company of the Morning News. The Times
- Herald publisher, John Buzzetta, said he decided to shut down
- the paper after approaching more than 100 potential investors
- during the past year and finding no takers. The rival papers
- were equivalent in size as recently as the 1970s, but the weak
- Texas economy of the '80s eroded the strength of the afternoon
- paper.
