Verizon Arena Tosses Out All Papers

By Rebecca Brown on Wednesday, December 18, 2002.

The Verizon Wireless Arena will no longer distribute newspapers.
The Arena used to have a private agreement with the Union Leader to see only that paper.

But Manchester's Hippopress Challenged that arrangement in Superior Court and won.

Last month the judge ruled that the Arena must sell both papers or none at all.

Yesterday, the Arena's management, SMG, had all newspaper boxes cleared out.

Jody Reese is the Publisher of Hippopress.

He tells NHPR's Mark Bevis he's disappointed with SMG's decision.
