News “Colored” Says News
The Anchorage News went into the “red” Wednesday.
We, here, kno w nothing of their financial standing, nor do we
imply that such is the case, but che paper did have a red head
line as well as the usual black. I
The N e.vs claims th it ... “for the first time in Alaskan ■
history, a daily newspioer....has pioneered in the use of a
two-color printing in both advertising and editorial matter on;
a rotary press.” )
Maybe so. But we seem to remember a Christmas edi-1
tioo of the Fairb inks Daily News Miner that had a bit of color
ton We are not referring to any “political” color, but to the
fact that the News Miner did print its Christmas edition in
red and green ink as well as black.
We are not trying to detract from the Anchorage.
News’ great accomplishment. It is fine. But the use of “color”
has not been confined to that newspaper. Lew Williams of the
Wrangell Sentinel in his weekly column, in our opinion, has
provided more “literary” color than any paper in the terri
tory. Williams still prints with black ink.
We are wmdfiirg if the Old Knik column in the
Anehorage News will appear some week in a more startling
“color”. Especially those days when the writer has reference
to Kodiak. We question the authenticity of some of the
signers of letters from here addressed to Old Knik’s column.
We feel that those letters from Kodiak should be printed in a
“color” found only on the floor of a stable. i
