 I worked in the Newspaper industry several years building websites for an assortment of papers. I'm not sure they've ever really made the online transition that well. Our local paper is full of networked advertising and syndicated news. During high school I attended several journalism camps several at the University of South Carolina because, at one point I thought it'd be fun to be a photojournalist and travel. I'm kinda glad I dodged that bullet, given that the opportunity to land myself in some war torn conflict abroad. I've watched the industry pick and roll back and forth between paywalls and different subscription models. I sometimes think about getting into the business for fun, but I'd likely end up with legal troubles given my penchant for brutal honesty. I've watched other folks start their own smaller scale publishing outfits and mostly they just end up slinging advertisements or mud... the oft misattributed quote that "News is something somebody doesn't want you to print; all else is advertising." is spot on<sub>6</sub>.

I found the 1953-54 obituaries for my great grandparents alongside of information on his senate tenure<sub>8</sub>.
