In Eureka, Calif. (population 27,000), Dean Singleton's Times-Standard goes up against the Eureka Reporter, owned by financier/tax attorney Robin P. Arkley II, head of a multibillion dollar national real estate development and loan acquisitions company. "I get tired of the Times-Standard saying 'Rob is trying to put us out of business,' " says Arkley. "I mean [the Times-Standard and parent MediaNews] are a monopoly in every market they are in, whining like a bunch of babies."
