     4  printed and distributed on a daily or weekly basis and has been in busi-
     5  ness  for at least one year immediately preceding any publication adver-
     6  tisement, and which contains news, articles of opinion, features, adver-
     7  tising and any other matter regarded as current interest.
     8    § 2. Subdivision a of section 60 of the general construction  law,  as
     9  separately  amended  by  chapters  724  and  725 of the laws of 1975, is
    10  amended to read as follows:

    14  ily not less frequently than once a week, for a minimum forty-eight week
