Barbara Semonche, my friend and mentor who is director of the library at UNC's School of Journalism, sent this link to the news librarians' listserv today. It's a 1981 report by KRON-TV in San Francisco about early attempts to bring newspapers to your home computer! Imagine that!
Check out the video (but don't make any smart remarks about the hair styles!)
