Northwestern Panel Gives Rance Crain a Scoop 50 Years Later
Posted in: Uncategorized
My alma mater, Northwestern University, has just digitized all the back articles from the campus newspaper, the Daily Northwestern. And that’s a lot of back articles — the Daily’s first issue was in 1881. The digitized Daily covers more than 13,000 issues and 900,000 pages of newsprint.
So to celebrate this amazing feat, the Library Board of Governors and the Northwestern Archives organized a panel of former Daily staffers to talk about their days on the paper.
The presentation came at an exciting time for Northwestern. The undefeated Wildcats were getting ready to play the undefeated Ohio State Buckeyes, and ESPN had designated the clash the game of the week. So ESPN broadcast some of its most popular shows from the NU campus.
