Buffalo s Dean Kennedy knocks Paul Gillis into the net while keeping the puck nut tuesday. New sports paper will need Luck by Thomas b. Rosenstiel los Angeles times new York even before it printed its Maiden edition wednesday the much awaited daily sports newspaper called the National already May have subtracted from the Quality of sports journalism in America. At least to the extent that it has taken Frank Deford away from writing Long inventive feature pieces for sports illustrated. Instead Deford who is arguably the country s Premier sports writer is the National s editor in chief chief architect top spokesman and also its to Pitchman in ads hawking the paper s launch wednesday in los Angeles new York and Chicago. But his writing will be limited to a once a week column. What lured him and has piqued the curiosity of the publishing Industry is the Prospect of the first nationwide newspaper devoted exclusively to sports. And it also May be a Chance to test what could be a new direction in american newspapers narrow interest publications aimed at attracting even people who Don t read other daily newspapers. Two somewhat limited attempts to Start All sports newspapers in this coun try failed in the 1980s, including one by the Pasadena Calif Star news under then owner Knight Ridder. But Deford and his Crew believe they can duplicate the Success of the sports dailies that thrive in Europe and latin America by having circulation sales in Stead of advertising drive the paper. The strategy unusual in the United states relics heavily on editorial strength such As Deford s. The National already caused tremors of worry and expectation in the journal ism fraternity last summer when Defor managed to also Nab several marquee sports writers among them Scott Ostler of the los Angeles times Mike Lupica of the new York daily news and Dave Kindred of the Atlanta Constitution along with two pulitzer prize winning investigative reporters. It also has the considerable finances of elusive mexican television magnate Emi Lio Azcarraga plus the skills of Deford s former Princeton classmate Peter Price the former publisher of the new York Post. What they have produced is a sunday through Friday tabloid of about 48pages, a local Section for each City Edi Tion with one Long feature each Day swat team of columnists and so Many tables and statistics that hockey fans can track the Power play efficiency of every team daily. The fundamental question implicit is How deep is America s appetite for sports when fans already can watch esp at night get the local paper in the morning then Usa today and once a week the sporting news and sports illustrated. Price the publisher is hoping to guarantee an initial circulation of 200,000-250,000 from the first three Cit ies and plans to be in 12 More by year end. Yet there is also the broader question Here about where newspapers Are headed. Younger americans Are not turning to newspapers As they age the Way previous generations did. The National is built in part on the theory that some of those who get their news from television May still turn to Reading every Day if the newspaper is focused on their specialized interests. If so targeted or Niche Market news papers by demographic group subject matter age Etc. Might signal the direction of newspapers in the next Cen Tury. Publicly even Price is estimating the paper May need five years and $100 Mil lion to make a profit. Azcarraga who is paying most of the Bills avoids publicity. It is a Well thought out approach said John Reidy the publishing analyst with Drexel Burnham Lambert. But the real thing is getting the even a Quarter of a million readers won t do it even just for three cities Reidy said. Mexicans expect to top .
