I never worked in printing or papermaking and it is gratifying to hear that those who did find some value in my research. And Frank ends with a sentiment that I share: "I miss newsprint, I miss newspapers, and I miss, more than anything else, the truth."

The piece traces global newsprint flows in the mid-20th century and shows the importance of US-Canada relations to them. For many people, being an informed citizen meant relying on foreign trade in newsprint.
