Esther 10:2 says:
Who were the kings (=editors) of the newspapers in Shushan? What were the names of their newspapers? What positions did they lean towards on various political issues? This question is Purim Torah and is not intended to be taken completely seriously. See the Purim Torah policy. |

One might have been the Utne Reader. See the Targum on Esther (8:8): "And Utne, hurry, write about the Jews whatever you want in the name of the king."
Not an unusual standard for journalists, historically speaking. Another possibility is Horse & Rider (ibid. 8:10): "And he sent magazines by those who hurry on horses." |

It seems clear that the head of the media empire in Shushan was none other than Shetar, whose name clearly derives from the word for a document. |
