Files under General | Feb 9th

The News and Record newsroom in Greensboro, North Carolina, USA.

Pictures posted by John Robinson, editor of the paper, in his blog with these captions:

This photo is undated, but after consulting with staff historian Jim Schlosser, we’re guessing it was taken in the early 70s.

Part of the newsroom was walled off while renovation was going on.

The red grease pencil marks show where the photo was cropped.

You can’t tell from these reproductions, but I’d swear the typewriters are the same in all three photos.
