Nov. 5 Papers Sold Out, People Wait Hours For Later Press Runs 11/06/2008
I was a newspaper reporter for more than a decade and I tend to keep newspapers whenever I travel or in the wake of pivotal moments – i.e., the New York Times after 9/11; the Washington Post for the Million Man March; Times-Picayune for its Hurricane Katrina coverage; etc.
Evidently others do the same. I couldn’t help but chuckle that long voter lines were replaced by lines of people waiting to buy editions of the Post or the Baltimore Sun or USA Today. I asked my mother in Maryland to save her home-delivery copy of the Post. When she wanted to buy extra copies and other papers as she headed to work, she found lines at several venues. My best friend in Maryland also encountered the same thing. And like on Election Day, the wait was festive, according to media reports, but it lasted for several hours in some instances.
NOTE: The Post will sell a commemorative editionof the Nov. 5 issue on Friday.If anyone would like to see front pages of more than 600 newspapers from around the world, visit the Newseum Web site.
Also, several newspapers tend to sell collectible press plates.
