I live in NY and went to over 40 locations or more and could not find one paper all before noon. I was shocked. Today I got up extremely early to hit the newstands and was not too impressed with the covers, however, I found the best print ever of Amsterdam News. I have NEVER bought a copy in my life until today. The cover is a very glossy Obama. Just spectacular. I got about 8 copies to give to friends. What a day!

Right, it’s not going to change anything long-term. Subscribership for the NYT will continue to plummet because of their complete lack of objectivity. What a worthless rag.

Such a big event,would be appeared as ‘hot-favourite’news in any media concern.Particularly,the press i.e.newspaper concerns are avidly engaged in preparing report very nicely as to disseminate the same to their favourite readers,who are news hungry enormously. Though,the result which is already known by everyone with the aid of different electronic media concern,yet they all, would need more informations in abundantly.Such flooded informations in diverse taking with the election and Barack Obama,can only be provided by the newspapers. So,the newspapers of different concerns will be demanded by each news hungry reader.Every newspaper concern would be able to boost its sale definitely today in high. Particularly,big newspaper house like the The Newyork Times,Washington Post will experience huge demands for their papers today at least. Obama is today’s hot news,which is attractive as well as supportative to every newspaper to grab their crazy readers.

In Los Angeles, California, I spent from 8:00am to 10:00 am going to convenience stores, grocery stores, and news stands looking for today’s newspaper before finally finding a copy in a newstand in front of a fast food place.

For people who were looking for the NY Times and unable to find it (I went on a 2-hour bike ride and struck out at 30 different locations), you might want to check into the Times back-print service: http://www.nytimes.com/ref/membercenter/ help/backcopies.html

They’ll print up new copies of any issue within the last 90 days and mail it to you. Sure beats waiting around to beg your paper delivery person…

The local papers in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia each had sold out of papers as well! Both papers, The Daily Press and The Virginian Pilot had to print an additional 15,000 copies to restock the stores that had run out. What an awesome day this is for newspapers around the nation!!

The Dallas Morning News sold out its overrun of 35 thousand and has restarted its presses to meet demand. At lunchtime, people lined up outside the door at the DMN offices to purchase a paper.
