Silent-speaking newsprint stands in stark contrast to the world that brings it life. Many thanks to Hank Billings, Dale Freeman, Sony Hocklander, Everett Kennell, Louise (Whall) Knauer, Bob Linder, Mike O'Brien and Kathleen O'Dell for sharing their memories for this project - an endeavor where it seemed better to share some stories than none at all. That said, this is but a brief look at the papers through the lives and stories of a few people. Note: It would be impossible to write a story that encompasses all events and notable names in Springfield's journalistic history. ![]() Jewell, publisher of Springfield Newspapers, Inc., oversees one of his paper's presses in the late 1920s or early '30s.(Photo courtesy of Richard Crabtree) ![]()
