[QUOTE="bmasters9, post: 240379, member: 77"] Bumping this up-- an interest of mine related to journalism is vintage newspapers. I have a semi-large collection of vintage newspapers from way back when, mostly from my youth, mostly which I have gotten through EBay (back in those days, you could get a daily paper for a pittance, and there was more content in your average daily paper then than there is now in today's overpriced rags). Here are two examples of such things from my collection: one is the Los Angeles Times from 1986 (day after the Challenger explosion [which, come that time in 2021, will mark its 35th anniversary]), and another is the Chicago Sun-Times from near the end of 1987 (I think that was Thanksgiving or the day after), when then-Mayor Harold Washington passed on at 65 of an arterial clot. Outside of those headlines, the main thing that attracted me thereto was the low cover prices (the L.A. Times on that day had 94 pages in seven "parts" [the L.A. Times term for sections], and ran only 25 cents, and the Chicago Sun-Times on Thursday, Nov. 26, 1987 also only cost a quarter [35 cents outside Chicago], and had much more [152 pages, plus ad supplements]).
