Newspaper printing process in the early 1970s for The Detroit News. Shows early use of computers in newspaper production.
Overview of steps in the writing, production, packaging, and delivery of the daily Detroit News newspaper, in Detroit, Michigan, United States. Reporters and writers in a newspaper press room work on early Cathode Ray Terminals or CRT computers. A reporter writes and edits a story on a cathode ray terminal computer. The completed copy is sent at the speed of light through a computer to an automated composing room. The electronic signals are being converted into coded tapes. The hole punched tapes are seen being printed by machines and then the tapes are fed into an automated type setting machine. A man at the newspaper printing press lifts prepared typeset from a tray. A stereotype man makes a final cardboard mat of each completed page proof, which is seen being pressed through a large roller and then fed into a press plate machine for final casting. 60 tons of lead is used to stamp out the cylindrical press plates. Close up view of the cylindrical press plates being fed through machines. Men in the press room collect the final plates that are transported to them on a moving conveyor belt system. A man oils and inks the plates and loads them into a machine where they are ready to roll. View of the newspaper printing underway. Close up view of newspaper printing press operating at high speed with newspapers rolling.
