generally recognized printing processes such as letterpress, lithography or
gravure; and
(c) which annually averages at least 25% news content per issue; or
which annually averages at least 1,000 column inches of news content per
issue, the term "news content" meaning for the purposes of this Act any
printed matter other than advertising; and
(d) which publishes miscellaneous reading matter, legal or other
announcements and notices, and news and information concerning current
happenings and passing events of a political, social, religious,
commercial, financial or legal nature, and advertisements or bulletins; and
(e) which has been continuously published at regular intervals of at

continuously or regularly published although its publication has been
suspended, where such suspension was caused by fire or an Act of God or by
a labor dispute or by its owner, publisher, managing editor or other
essential employee entering the active military service of the United
States, if the newspaper was continuously or regularly published for at
least one year prior to its suspension and if its publication is resumed at
any time not later than 12 months after such fire or Act of God, or if its
publication is resumed at any time within 12 months after the termination
of the labor dispute, or if its publication is resumed at any time within
12 months after the termination of the war in connection with which such
persons entered such military service.
