Scott Jones blogs on FTVLive about the TV News shows, TV Journalism and generally about the TV business in general. It’s pretty much wall-to-wall coverage about TV, but recently gives a tour of his home studio.
Note the TV guy displays Newspapers on his brag wall. I guess you could hang a TV monitor on the wall running your best-of tape on a loop, but a Newspaper does the job just fine.
Sorry, don’t have the cash to pay for the ability to upload a GIF, but this one of Snoopy chewing bones as he reads the local (probably) Newspaper is one of my favs of the season!
Copy editors will never, ever pass up the obvious pun. I wish I was still on the desk — would have had to arm wrestle the rest of the desk to write this one and put it in with my clips.
This is from 2014 when the Gawker was still around. Still funny
Surfing around Zillow looking at some houses in Estes Park, Colo., I notice this shot of a front page proudly tacked to this guy’s wall
I won’t disclose the address, but it’s good to see that people still clip our newspapers and display them. This is the Trail-Gazette, which I worked for back in the ’80s. I was the news editor for about three years and features editor for a year.
By the way, when I was there the masthead was all black and the elk was a black silhouette, like this one, but I don’t recall that we ever threw color on it.
Ran across this poster the other day… I don’t know where this Newspaper is from, other than it’s in the UK. Anyone know?
Interestingly, in the UK and US think of Newspapers on a Sunday morning as a time to kick back and relax.
The statue of Confederate president Jefferson Davis in the rotunda of the Kentucky Capitol in Frankfort, Ky., was removed last week and …
Once the statue was removed, workers then discovered in the brick and marble base an empty bottle of Glenmore bourbon and the Oct. 20, 1936 front page of The State Journal newspaper,

According to spectrumnews1.com, the statue has been in the Capitol rotunda since 1936 and had a plaque describing the Confederate president as a hero. The plaque was removed in 2018.
There is a bill in the Kentucky House to replace the statue with one of Carl Brashear, a Black Navy diver from Kentucky.
Long, long time ago this guy was interviewed about the classic 1941 movie, “Citizen Kane,” which we all know is based, in part, upon the Newspaper magnates William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer.
You’ll be surprised what he has to say.
My good friend Bill Clough is posting photos he’s made over his 60-year career in Journalism. Stealing this one for the Newspaper angle.
“Archer Fullingim was a Texas legend as the editor of the Kountze, Texas newspaper. He is credited as originating the label ‘Tricky Dick.’ His columns demanded statewide attention. His legacy is his tireless devotion to saving the Big Thicket.”

For you young’ens Tricky Dick is the derogatory nickname for Richard Milhous Nixon (January 9, 1913 – April 22, 1994) was the 37th US President.
Clint Eastwood’s new film “Richard Jewell” is getting some pushback from my buds over at The AJC.
Check out the story over at The Wrap.
The movie is out tomorrow.
Full disclosure: I worked for the AJC during the 1996 Olympics, was in the Park during the bombing, ran back to the newsroom (pre cell phone days) to alert the staff and contributed to the initial reporting.
I was in Centennial Olympic Park when the bomb went off. I was working for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on their Olympics team. It was a crazy time.
I suspect that the AJC is not going to be portrayed in a favorable light in this film.
Here’s the blurb from the YouTube page (above):
Directed by Clint Eastwood and based on true events, “Richard Jewell” is a story of what happens when what is reported as fact obscures the truth.
“There is a bomb in Centennial Park. You have thirty minutes.” The world is first introduced to Richard Jewell as the security guard who reports finding the device at the 1996 Atlanta bombing—his report making him a hero whose swift actions save countless lives. But within days, the law enforcement wannabe becomes the FBI’s number one suspect, vilified by press and public alike, his life ripped apart. Reaching out to independent, anti-establishment attorney Watson Bryant, Jewell staunchly professes his innocence. But Bryant finds he is out of his depth as he fights the combined powers of the FBI, GBI and APD to clear his client’s name, while keeping Richard from trusting the very people trying to destroy him.
The film stars Oscar winners Sam Rockwell (“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”) as Watson Bryant and Kathy Bates (“Misery,” TV’s “American Horror Story”) as Richard’s mom, Bobi; Jon Hamm (“Baby Driver”) as the lead FBI investigator; Olivia Wilde (“Life Itself”) as Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Kathy Scruggs; and Paul Walter Hauser (“I, Tonya”) stars as Richard Jewell.
Oscar winner Eastwood directed from a screenplay by Oscar nominee Billy Ray (“Captain Phillips”), based on the Vanity Fair article “American Nightmare—The Ballad of Richard Jewell” by Marie Brenner. Eastwood also produced under his Malpaso banner, alongside Tim Moore, Jessica Meier, Kevin Misher, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Davisson and Jonah Hill.
Eastwood’s creative team includes director of photography Yves Bélanger and production designer Kevin Ishioka, along with longtime costume designer Deborah Hopper and Oscar-winning editor Joel Cox (“Unforgiven”), who have worked with Eastwood throughout the years on numerous projects. The music is by Arturo Sandoval, who scored 2018’s “The Mule.”
Warner Bros. Pictures Presents a Malpaso Production, an Appian Way/Misher Films/75 Year Plan Production, “Richard Jewell.” The film will be in theaters on December 13, 2019 and will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
Here’s the Vanity Fair article the blurb mentions.
