NEWS

He complains that The World Company's operations constitute a classical media monopoly in Lawrence. A few other information sources exist in the city, such as the Kansan, but the student newspaper cannot compete in the general community, Burress says.
Because of The World Company's monopoly, businesses feel pressured to avoid placing advertisements in alternative papers, such as The LawRENCIAN, he says. Burress cites the failures of a number of weeklies in Lawrence over the years.
Businesses "feel that if they advertise in weeklies, they are less likely to get free publicity in the Journal-World," Burress said. "That's a monopolistic practice."
Similar to cable companies in most cities, Sunflower Broadband is able to charge more money for its cable service because it has little competition, he said.
"Cable prices are unreasonable everywhere — it's a license to print money," Burress said.
Dolph said major newspaper companies have tried to move into Lawrence.
"You've got Kansas City, with their new press coming up ... I know damn well they're going to try to come here. Topeka tries to come in here," Dolph said.
"Sure, I can appreciate and understand that somebody would say, 'My God what a monopoly.' And in one sense, it would appear that way. And in one sense, it is. But that doesn't mean that somebody else can't come in here and start something." Dolph said.
Dolph said he already has competition in Lawrence, pointing to Internet service from AT&T (formerly SBC), newspapers in Topeka, Leavenworth and Ottawa, and radio and television stations in Kansas City and Topeka. Dolph even sees the Kansan as a local competitor for newspaper advertising. He refused to be photographed for this story, although he sat for one to accompany an article about him in The New York Times. The Kansan purchased that photo from the Times for this article.
Paul Jess, a retired KU journalism professor who was general manager of the Kansan from 1980-1982, said he remembered when The Associated Press suddenly began charging the Kansan the higher commercial rate instead of the university rate for wire stories and photos. The AP is a cooperative owned by the newspapers it serves — including the Kansan and the Journal-World.
Jess recalled that a student on the advertising side decided to expand Kansan circulation by placing boxes filled with Kansans throughout Lawrence. An AP employee called shortly after and told Jess that the Kansan would be charged the higher commercial rate for articles and photos.
While the AP didn't tell Jess whether anyone had complained, the AP justified its decision because the Kansan was "competing," Jess said. Jess said it was a "valid assumption" that the complaint came from Dolph, the Kansan's only local competitor.
Dolph denies that The World Company played a role in the price increase.
Tom Eblen, general manager of the Kansan from 1986 to 2001, said his relationship with Dolph was positive and that the printing quality of the Kansan improved greatly when The
Malcolm Gibson, current general manager of the Kansan and a member of the journalism faculty, said he didn't know of a better relationship between a city and a college newspaper than the one between the Journal-World and the Kansan.
World Company began printing it — in color and not in just black and white.
Today the Kansan pays the lower university rate for AP articles and photos and Gibson said he hoped the Kansan would soon circulate around town again.
"Everything I've sought to accomplish with the JournalWorld, I have, with respect to the AP rules, too. And I expect to accomplish everything," Gibson said.
The University
Ann Brill, dean of the KU School of Journalism, converses with Dolph about once a month, she said. The World Company's leadership in multimedia news perfectly complements the curriculum of the school, which is a national leader in multimedia news, she said.
Dolph and his two sons, Dan and Dolph III, president of the
company's newspaper division who is known in the company as D-three, are members of the William Allen White Foundation board of trustees and the Dean's Club, a group of donors who give $1,000 or more a year to the school.
Brill said Dolph has been generous to the school, but could not reveal exact amounts because of confidentiality rules.
"I think his contributions to the school have been more in terms of resources," she said.
Dolph supports the school by hiring students and providing interns at the Journal-World with unpaid instruction from the paper's staff, Brill explained. People have told her that Dolph speaks highly of the school as well, she said.
"Because he is a person of influence, much more beyond Lawrence than a lot of people realize, that helps that the local publisher thinks highly of what you're doing." Brill said.
Dolph declined to reveal the sum of his contributions, and the KU Endowment Association, a private entity, is not required to provide that information unless donors agree, said spokeswoman Jen Humphrey.
Dolph and his family's most recent contribution to the University amounted to $2.125 million, part of an $8.5-million donation to the KU Endowment Charitable Gift Fund, Humphrey said. She explained that another $2.125 million of that money went to the Douglas County Community Foundation. Endowment allows donors to designate charitable recipients outside the University. The Simons family will decide where the remaining $4.25 million will be distributed
— either to the University or to the Douglas County Community Foundation. Humphrey said.
Dolph said that his donations had funded the Simons Media Center inside the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, the Dolph Simons Room inside the Wagon Student Athlete Center, and that he had contributed to various schools on campus.
"It's not designed so that we give more to one particular school, or to one particular program than to another one," he said.
Despite his KU contributions, Dolph frequently criticizes KU administrators in his Saturday column in the Journal-World.
