Detroit News Film from 1970

I found this amazing gem on YouTube about the Detroit News and its operations in 1970. Simply amazing, especially for you 'Mad Men'/mid-20th century/old-school admirers. Some downtown shots to boot...

Thanks for posting. I hadn't seen that video yet.

Reporters are smoking cigarettes at their desk and using <gasp> typewriters! Unlike computers, typewriters had no lag. LOL!

And a shot of action at the old Derby Hill in Dorais Park right at the beginning!

Really awesome video, thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing this great video! Will share with friend - 80yo retired newspaperman from Thumb.

Did you notice how many times a story would be re-entered into a machine? From reporter -> transcriptionist [[used to call 'em "stenos") -> copy editor -> rewrite -> [[eventually, maybe) page layout -> ... -> linotype ... then molded into rotary form, hand-carried to rotary press, then hand-installed. Wow! Computerization "flattened" this process - newspapers laid off many workers...
