Early Newspapers of Randolph County and the Role of the Printer and Publisher
Presented by Don Teter and Karl Mulac
In the past, local newspapers filled a vital role in the life of the community by carrying important legal notices, informative advertising, and reports from colorful correspondents. Historian Don Teter will give an overview of the numerous early newspapers in Randolph County, many of which were published for only brief periods while others lasted many years. He will also share some stories of the editorial give and take between the competing journals. Historian Karl Mulac is the proprietor of the Randolph Enterprise Project, which shows how the local newspaper operated during the last quarter of the nineteenth century. He will demonstrate the operation of the printing press and talk about the work of the printers and publishers of small-town newspapers.
