These are great photos. In a certain way, I think American newspapers and newsmagazines were two of the greatest legacies left by the US in its golden age.
"Newspapers, of course, are closing at an emergency-level rate—over the past twenty years, the country has lost more than three thousand. Newsrooms are closing even faster, as downsized staffs take refuge at smaller, dumpier dumps. For the past six years, Hermes has been documenting the lives lived in these dying places across the country, from Juneau to St. Louis. The spaces she captures tend to be beautifully abject. The photos are elegiac, sweet, and sometimes hilarious: a computer face-planted in an empty bullpen, a banner declaring “NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING WORKS” in a packed-up office, an editor presiding over a Last Supper-esque meeting. That editor looks as all news editors should: put upon and permanently disappointed. Looking at the image, I feel as though I’ve just handed him an article that’s too late, too florid, and ten inches too long."

A re- #introduction
I'm a #writer and working on yet another draft of a novel. I post about things that interest me and will engage with thoughtful people.
For mental health reasons, I don't post about #politics much. The #worldonfire and I grieve over it every day, as well as show-up, contribute, protest, and vote. I respect people who know the source of their news & cull out misinformation. I read a minimum of 3 newspapers a day. (IMO we have to keep #journalism esp. #localnewspapers alive.) I'm a member of one of the groups our (USA) House Speaker would like to get rid of: #LGBTQ
I'm a #breastcancer survivor. I hate war, nukes, guns, nazis, and bullies. I love my wife, my #dog, the #cats across the street, my friends, #theatre #musicals #films some #tv #nonviolence #qigong and #taichi #greenchile and #NewMexico .
Books: I'll read most anything. Esp. #mysteries #scifi #poetry #haiku #history

An excellent radio programme about the Hawick Paper local newspaper, that I get in the post every week. Lots of insight into the town too. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001h6j6 #ScottishBorders #Hawick #HawickPaper #newspapers #LocalNewspapers #Scotland

Working through more of my massive backlog of Hawick Paper issues. Managed 15 just now. There are more still to read! Even reading them belatedly I love seeing the news from my home town. My dad also used to read them very happily. I get the new issue in the post each week.
