When I was home over Christmas, I was digging through some of my dad’s baseball memorabilia when I came across a copy of the Washington Post from March 7, 1999: “Printing Revolution Spurs New Look,” the lead headline read. The paper was such an incredible artifact that I took photos of each of its pages. The paper was a “special edition” printed to commemorate the opening of its College Park, Maryland printing press, where my dad worked for years. “You don’t spend that much money without a very good reason, and this morning’s Washington Post is that reason—a better printed, better-organized paper,” he wrote. No newspaper has better or more loyal readers, and none works harder to earn and keep its readers’ trust.”
