Re: The News-Letter 125th anniversary project
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “student council”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports on alumnus David Hawk’s reflection about working for the paper in the 1970s.
- The article says Hawk worked at The News-Letter from September 1975 to May 1978 and handled 124 consecutive issues.
- The paper reported that production involved typesetting, cutting, gluing and preparing pages for printing at Centaur Press in Westminster, Maryland.
- Hawk wrote that production and delivery could take about 20 hours, including transporting and distributing 7,000 copies.
- The article adds that The News-Letter had an ongoing dispute with the Student Council, which Hawk recalled trying at one point to defund and shut down the paper.
