« Global Warming Update | Main | Next Year in Havana » February 19, 2008Dead NewspapersTomorrow marks the 10th anniversary of the death of the Nashville Banner, as I mentioned last week. I also mentioned that I had 10 copies of the final final edition available. Now I have six. Email me at bill-at-billhobbs-dot-com if you are interested in having one. Also, I have a last-day edition of the Richmond, Va., News Leader, which died May 31, 1992, and was combined with the Richmond Times Dispatch, along with the June 1, 1992, edition of the Times Dispatch, which ballyhoos the debut of the "new" combined paper. It would make a nice framed set if you're connected with the Richmond journalism community. I also have a last-day edition of The Anchorage Times (June 3, 1992), the Knoxville Journal (Dec. 31, 1991), and the Spokane Chronicle (July 31, 1992). All of them are in perfect condition, having sat in a box ever since I got them. (The Spokane Chronicle does have a white postal address sticker on the top left corner, but it probably can be steamed off.) All are available for purchase. 1992 was a bad year for newspapers - newspapers were going the way of the dodo bird long before the Internet came along. Posted in Journalism & Media
