News Blackout: 1958
This circa 1958 candlelight candid offers a glimpse of the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer city desk during a power outage. Start the presses! 4x5 inch acetate negative. View full size.
The Ledger-Enquirer Company
published individual circulations, The Columbus Enquirer (morning) and The Columbus Ledger (afternoon). The two titles published a combined Sunday Ledger-Enquirer on the weekends.
In 1958, Mr. Edge R Reid was the managing editor. Alas, this photo does not contain Mr. Reid's likeness.
Horseshoe Editor's Desk
I interned at a small 6-day daily in the summer of 1972 and that desk brings back memories.
Ashtrays
Those were the days. Plenty of heavy glass ashtrays in the offices to repurpose into candle holders.
Where's the Wang?
That boxy shape left of the phone is the clunkiest-looking newsroom computer terminal I have ever seen. Also, the candles would be brighter with LED wicks.
This little light of mine
Maybe it's the candlelight but the guy on the right seems to be gazing ever so fondly at the seated man -- his boss, I imagine. Could it be a budding bromance amidst the newsprint?
