Waking Up in a City Without Newspapers

For a media-saturated, always-connected city, the aftermath of Sandy has in some ways been stranger than the storm. There were no newspapers on newsstands -- if newsstands were open -- across large portions of the city. Like everything else with Sandy, the media disruption was uneven. Bridge and tunnel closures blocked delivery of The New York Times in Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island, a spokeswoman said. But trucks were able to get through to parts of Queens, Long Island and Brooklyn from the paper's printing plant in College Point, Queens.
