A.M. Journal Express
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
'"A.M. Journal Express" was a short-lived free daily newspaper in Dallas, Texas, owned by American Consolidated Media. In its six-month life span, it lost under $5 million, according to company chairman Jeramy Halbreich. The paper started on November 12, 2003 and closed on April 30, 2004. When plans for the A.M. Journal Express were revealed in September of 2003, the Dallas Morning News took action and designed their own free daily newspaper, called Quick, which hit the streets two weeks earlier than the Journal Express.
The Dallas Morning News took hostile actions to ensure the failure of the A.M. Journal Express. Actions included confrontations with A.M. Journal distributors, the theft and vandalism of A.M. Journal's newspaper boxes, the vandalism of A.M. Journal's corporate office, the threatening of A.M. Journal's advertisers, and the vandalism of A.M. Journal employees homes.
