I love flipping through old magazines – from the 40s, 50s, 60s, especially. So much retro-goodness! Stumbled across this gem recently, circa 1968. It’s always time for news!

The software that we (stations branded as “Montana’s News Station”) use is called WorldNow Producer, and it’s…well, it’s not as intuitive and flexible as most blogging software (WordPress, etc)…but I’m learning how to work with it. From experience, and from talking with a few other people, I...
