The Davidson family owned The Daytona Beach News-Journal in Daytona Beach, Florida, when I worked there in the early 1990s. The newspaper's masthead included the name of the editor of the family's defunct afternoon newspaper, the Evening News. The man would come to work every day, go to his office, and close the door behind him. Like everyone else on staff, he presumably was paid a salary; and, as editor of a newspaper -- regardless of whether it existed or not -- he was probably paid more than the reporters and lower-level editors.
