Two Journal founders unite for Brooklyn Beach paper
In Manhattan Beach, Robert Spitzer remains editor and publisher of the Community Journal as it merges with Samuel Posner from the Manhattan Beach Times to form a single local newspaper. The new Journal operates from a basement office, uses basic mimeograph and dict ionary tools, and expands from 10 to 20 pages with a 1000-copy circulation. Advertising runs $4 per column inch and copies sell for five cents, aided by sly distribution through supermarket deliveries.
