Media Through the Years

The first interview I conducted with my grandmother, Linda, was about her experience with print media. Growing up in Macon on a farm outside of town, her family, especially her parents, relied heavily on newspapers and magazines for their news. She remembers always having the Macon Chronicle-Harold in the house. The paper came six days a week with the mail and made it to the house at noon, despite it being the morning paper. Sunday was the only day in which the paper was not delivered. I found this interesting because  it was the  exact opposite of when I grew up and my family would only get the paper from the store on Sundays.

She reminisced fondly of the Peanuts and Dagwood, her mom checking the Cardinals' scores, and her dad reading the paper cover to cover
