Galaxy Good Guy and Herald Examiner expert Jeff Prescott on Collecting Newspapers

San Diego radio personality Jeff Prescott joins the Galaxy Gang to discuss the world of newspapers. Jeff is a collector of vintage newspapers. His knowledge on the acquisition, and preservation of vintage newspapers will be of interest to those who might be considering starting their own collections. In addition, Jeff talks to us about the way newspapers were printed back in earlier times. He tells us about the days of the "Extras", and the fascinating stories of how some newspapers would release different, updated issues of a newspaper on a day with a big news story. We also discuss how newspapers, which were once a staple of daily information, have fallen away from that role, with the advent of the Internet, and other means to receive instant information. There are also memories of delivering newspapers, and some of the famous writers and photographers are recalled. Jeff Prescott brings to this one-hour episode of Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, a wealth of information and knowledge told in an engaging, easy-to-listen to, humorous way. And of course, listen in for a couple of newspaper related Retro Commercials on this episode!
