Remembering the Courier: thirty years since the last Courier-Express rolled off the presses By Steve Cichon, staffannouncer.com September 19, 2012 |
BUFFALO, NY (staffannouncer.com) - It was thirty years ago today, September 19, 1982. I was in my second week of kindergarten, and the last editions of the Courier-Express were hitting Western New York front stoops with a thud. It was a thick Sunday edition, and most of the "A" section was dedicated to the forever silenced presses of the liberal morning newspaper. This is page is simply that A section, presented one page at a time. Click on each page for a larger, easier to read version. I photographed, then edited each page. If anyone has a better idea for "scanning" newspapers, I'd love to hear it... and maybe would do more. |
