Description:
Editor Bob Moore at South Middlesex News shows how copy is typed, formatted and corrected on VDT monitor, new electronic equipment to the newsroom. Close-up of hands on computer keyboard. He inserts numerical codes for type size, headline size, column width. “Makes for better typing…no more proofreaders…reporters love it…it lifts them psychologically.” Paper has been largely eliminated from the newsroom. Composing room jobs reduced and people retrained. Cost savings put toward buying the technology and enhancing the editorial staff. Cartoonist working in pen and ink; his drawings posted on the wall. reel 2 of 2
