What the Paper Knew: 100 Years of the Anytown Gazette
Thu, Jan 21, 2027 · 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM · Local College · Fitch Library Reading Room · Free
A journalism professor and her students dig through a century of the local paper to show what it captured and what it missed.
Last semester, Dr. Ruth Calloway's students spent hundreds of hours with the Anytown Gazette's microfilm archive, from its first issue in 1924 to the day it stopped printing. They found floods, fires, and feuds, but also a long list of stories that never made the paper, and whose voices were left out.
The talk kicks off the spring seminar series and doubles as a conversation about local news today. Current and former Gazette staffers are warmly invited. Free and open to the public.
