Many of my newsroom colleagues would not remember…

“Counting” headlines the old-fashioned way.

Proportion wheels.

Pica poles.

Sending copy to typesetters via pneumatic tubes.

The sound of many, many typewriters.

The sound of many, many ringing phones.

Confirming facts without the Net.

“While you were out” message slips.

Late morning deadlines for afternoon papers.

Glue pots.

Tolerating workplace conduct that should not have been tolerated.
