When I worked in the camera dept. I would go into the newsroom and go through the piles of AP photos and stories coming off the AP wire. I was hooked at an early age. I'd wander around in the darkroom with the photographers and help develop film. We had a room as big as my living room with the "computer" in the newsroom that had to have an air-conditioner unit to control the temperature. Typesetters were just going out of style when I got my first newspaper job to work my way through college.
