Kramer is said to have been a driving force behind News owner Mort Zuckerman's decision to invest $150 million in new, state-of-the-art printing presses, despite the newspaper industry's widespread contraction. So far, the improvements, which allow for 4C printing on every page, have not boosted advertising or readership. When Kramer pushed for the new presses two years ago, daily circulation stood at 700,000. Now it is less than 550,000. Industry sources also say advertising is down.
