It's time for video or CD on BJ

It’s time to produce a video or CD history of the Akron Beacon Journal. It could be done in a PDF format with text and photos and/or possibly include some of the mp3 (audio) clips of JSK's quotes. Good source material for the days before Sherman would certainly include Hal Fry’s 71-page book “Print It! 150 Years of the Akron Beacon Journal.” The CD like Fry’s book could possibly be underwritten by a grant from the Knight Foundation.

Fry’s book incidentally is still available I believe from the Summit County Historical Society for $6.95 plus tax. Contact the society for availability.
