TIMES-PICAYUNE
The Times-Picayune | The New Orleans Advocate is an American newspaper published in New Orleans, Louisiana, since January 25, 1837. The current publication is the result of the 2019 acquisition of The Times-Picayune (itself a result of the 1914 union of The Picayune with The Times-Democrat) by the New Orleans edition of The Advocate (based in Baton Rouge), which began publication in 2013 as a response to The Times-Picayune switching from a daily publication schedule to a Wednesday/Friday/Sunday schedule in October 2012 (The Times-Picayune resumed daily publication in 2014). The Times-Picayune was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service in 2006 for its coverage of Hurricane Katrina. (More from Wikipedia)
We have been bombarded with important anniversaries this year. Meanwhile, 2012 is making some history of its own. The first major newspaper not to be a “daily”, the New Orleans Times-Picayune is now published only 3 days a week. One of the leading news magazines, Newsweek is ceasing its “print” edition at the end of the year and will be available only online. Encyclopædia Britannica, which dates back to 1768, announced in 2012 that they published their final hardbound edition (32 volumes) in 2010.
As to my own modest anniversary, this past year’s posts have been very long compared to previous years; there always seemed to be a lot to say, though I sense that next year’s will be shorter [boy, was I wrong about that!]. I am trying to get as much as possible of my musical knowledge . . . well, not on paper exactly, but you get the idea.
