Re: News Communications, Inc..
    Preliminary Schedule 14C filed September 16, 2005
    File No. 000-18299

Dear Mr. Duchovny:

Set forth below is the response on behalf of News Communications, Inc. (the
"Company") to the comments of the staff (the "Staff") of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") contained in the letter, dated September
23, 2005 (the "Comment Letter"), concerning the Preliminary Schedule 14C and
Schedule 13E-3 filed on September 16, 2005. For your convenience and to
facilitate your review, we have set forth herein each comment of the Staff
contained in the Comment Letter followed by our response. In this Comment
Response Letter unless the context otherwise requires, the words "we", "us" and
"our" refer to the Company. Also attached are the revised filings on Schedule
14C . Each page is marked to show the changes from the documents filed on
September 23, 2005.

Preliminary Information Statement

Background, page 9

1.   Please disclose the substance of your response to comment 9 as it relates
     to the selection of Mr. Mendelsohn to review and recommend the terms of the
     proposed transaction. Also, revise the disclosure responding to the last
     two sentences of our comment to describe the prior transactions referred to
     in your disclosure.

     We have revised the disclosure as requested.

Alternative Considered, page 10

2.   Disclose the substance of your response to comment 10. Also, explain in
     the disclosure why none of the alternative transactions would "necessarily"
     have provided for appraisal rights.

     We have revised the disclosure as requested.

Going Private Transaction; Effects, page 11

3.   We reissue comment 15 as it does not appear that any revision was made in
     response to our comment.

     We have revised the disclosure on page 9 to reflect that the detriments
     of the reverse stock split to our stockholders are factors that the Board
     of Directors considered prior to approving the reverse stock split.

Fairness of the stock splits - page 16

4.   We reissue comment 19 as it does not appear that any revision was made in
     response to our comment.

     On page 12, we clarify that the board, as well as individual members of
     the board, did not weigh each factor set forth in "SPECIAL
     FACTORS--Fairness of the Transaction" independently or assign a value or
     weight to each factor, but rather considered the factors in the aggregate
     prior to approving the reverse stock split.

Securities Ownership, page 20

5.   We reissue comment 26 in part. Note that as a result of the provisions of
     Rule 13d-5(b) two or more persons who "agree to act together for the
     purpose of voting equity securities of an issuer" are deemed to have formed
     a group and to have acquired beneficial ownership of all securities
     beneficially owned by such persons.

     We have revised the disclosure as requested.

In submitting this comment response letter, the Company has authorized me to
acknowledge on its behalf that the Company is responsible for the adequacy and
accuracy of the disclosure in the Schedule 14C, the Schedule 13E-3 and this
comment response letter, and all amendments and supplements thereto. The Company
also acknowledges that Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to
Staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with
respect to the filings. The Company also acknowledges that it may not assert
Staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any
person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

If you have any additional questions regarding any of our responses or the
revised Schedules, please feel free to call either myself (212-940-8555) or Evan
L. Greebel (212-940-6383) of
