NEW ORLEANS — It was an ink-stained
fight between David and Goliath when The Advocate opened its New Orleans office in 2012. The New
York-based Newhouse family, which bought The Picayune in 1962, banked big on
Nola.com and cut daily circulation of the paper.
New
Orleanians were outraged, and Baton Rouge's
Manship family began to print a daily New
Orleans edition of The Advocate. A year later, John
and Dathel Georges made headlines when they bought the paper and poached many
Picayune veterans.
