On November 2, 1989, the world-renowned Los Angeles Herald Examiner newspaper published its last edition. Known throughout Southern California (and beyond), The Herald was known for award-winning editing, stories, and photos, along with a stable of world-class reporters and photographers. Many media experts feel that the close of the Herald Examiner in 1989 marked the beginning of the end of major newspaper media domination across the country. Newspaper historian, former San Diego radio personality, and Galaxy Good Guy Jeff Prescott, takes us back to a time when reading newspapers such as The Los Angeles Herald Examiner/Herald Express were how most Americans obtained their daily news, sports and stock market information. Jeff, and Mike B. also share fond memories of early teen years, delivering The Herald door-to-door, and selling newspapers at bars and barber shops to earn extra money. The presses are running at Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site! (Note: This show originally aired in 2011.) #heraldexaminer #heraldexpress #losangelesnewspapers http://bit.ly/HeraldExaminer1989

Today Marks 30th Anniversary of the Last Issue of The Los Angeles Herald Examiner

Jeff Prescott

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!
