Missourian Installed New Press
|
The Columbia Missourian installed a new 24-page King offset press that improved the printing capacity by 50 percent. It was the last press purchased by the Missourian. Another update came in 1983, when the paper converted to an online system that allowed reporters to do background searches in the newsroom and read archived stories.
The new Missourian press rolled off such 1980s headlines as the Challenger disaster, the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Increasingly, J-School students used video display terminals (lower right) instead of paste-up boards to compose Missourian stories.
