Internal Journal February 2007 Issue de News-Journal Corp - 2007

Daytona Beach, Fl.: Daytona Beach News-Journal, 2007. Ephemera. Very Good. Stapled Softcover. Issue 37.. 12 pp. Gently used. Monthly leaflet serving as an internal newsletter for the 800-plus employees of the Daytona Beach News-Journal and its Pennysaver shopper. Cover photo shows a Nigel Cook photograph of the Space Shuttle traversing a night sky over the Halifax River in Daytona. Inside items note various charity projects, anniversaries and births, plus photos from the annual "Cookie Party." Plus an explainer on a new health insurance plan offered by the Florida Health Care HMO. Historical note: The newsletter reflects the "family" atmosphere that was promoted by then-owner Herbert "Tippen" Davidson when the newspaper was at its financial peak. In subsequent years, management strife and advertising declines resulted in the paper being sold to coporate chains (at first, Halifax Media Group, and later, GateHouse.) and more than half its workforce eliminated.
