Reliving the past, one day at a time.

By: Taylor Browning

Everyone looks forward to the daily newspaper, or the updated version online, but some are looking forward to yesterday's newspaper. I never really thought twice about keeping old newspapers, until it had a special value to me.

Pictures and articles of my team's journey to the state tournament, or an article about my brother's football game are important to me. On a larger scale, many kept the newspaper on September 12, reporting the previous day's terror. Recently, many people are saving and selling newspapers over Barack Obama's newly won presidency.

Maybe this is a small key success, even a niche, in the journalism world. Hard paper provides more sentimental value and keepsake than an Internet bookmarked site. Reliving the past can become more of a reality and hold more meaning when one actually has an article of the past on hand.
