Showbiz411: Where in the world is Mort Zuckerman? The publisher of the famed 96 year old New York Daily News has been MIA in public for some time now, a head scratcher to be sure. His newspaper is dissolving before our very eyes. Yet Mort– who loves the limelight– has vanished. Zuckerman, 78, put the Daily News up for sale last February. He was last photographed in mid June at a New York book party.
