Probably the only ones that will remain are the big city papers...New York Times, The Washington Post, etc. But who knows for how long.Isla Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418290496593796947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190092564444485501.post-52071554857839989082008-12-08T23:06:00.000-06:002008-12-08T23:06:00.000-06:00Deb- just today both major papers in Seattle- the...Deb- just today both major papers in Seattle- the Times and PI- made major adjustments to their format..combining sections, etc. in order to be more cost efficient. my coffee and my paper are my morning ritual...it's sad to see the print newspaper on it's way out. as an environmentalist i always think i *should* be reading it online and not wasting the paper, but there is just something about the actual paper which i love...<BR/>i didn't know you hadworked at the post! i must get better at checking your blog!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06013906779180211147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190092564444485501.post-35170065580659525132008-12-08T12:40:00.000-06:002008-12-08T12:40:00.000-06:00Thanks, Vee!

Maybe we could get a group started for the revitalization of muffs! lol <BR/><BR/>No, I haven't read Katharine Graham's autobiography, but now that you have brought it up, I'm going to. I just finished a book I was reading today, so I'm going to look into that. She was a very impressive lady. I am so glad I had the opportunity to work there and meet her.Isla Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418290496593796947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190092564444485501.post-50652086004709088372008-12-04T20:48:00.000-06:002008-12-04T20:48:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Isla Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418290496593796947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190092564444485501.post-15179491293332335882008-12-04T20:02:00.000-06:002008-12-04T20:02:00.000-06:00Oh - and you met Katherine Graham.

What memories you conjure!<BR/><BR/>Citizen Kane - haven't seen it in years, but remember it well. Yes, I know what Rosebud is, and I've also read about the cinematograhy involved. You selected some great examples to illustrate your point.<BR/><BR/>Larry King - my boss at Nortel married a woman who worked on his show in the 1980s. Larry probably looked a lot like he does in your photo then. And I worked on the Hill in the 1970s when Ford was in office, but as a receptionist, not a journalist. That came later for me.<BR/><BR/>What you said about newspapers is so true. It's a topic that I follow closely here, as I watch the changes and the sad fade of the medium. I still love my morning paper, and I hope it continues a few more years.<BR/><BR/>Great post, Deb!Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04409811942834234115noreply@blogger.com
