Two Tabloid Town

But for how long?

The Daily News and The New York Post are both in crises -- the News just laid off most of its staff and is little more than a glorified web page now. And The Post exists purely due the largess of its almost 90-year old owner Rupert Murdoch.

Can they survive these convulsions and threats or will they one day vanish? 

If so, the only remaining tabloid in NYC will be gone and, with them, an entire genre of news-making, of muckraking, of telling the wild story that is this city. 

And we'll be devoid of the great headlines that catch our eye each morning.

Here's an example of these headlines and why hopefully both will continue to exist, in one way or another.
