Now in its 85"" year, The BG News 0/2005-06 has a renewed focus that motivates « us to dig beneath the surface and examine multifaceted issues that all of our readers — both on campus and in the community — are affected by. The role of an independent student newspaper on this campus has never been more important than it is now, and so far our staff of 85-plus has answered the call, producing a professional news product that's competitive with other daily newspapers in the area. Our design this year is attractive and engaging, our news and feature stories bring issues into focus for our readers, and our photos and art compliment each page. But as much as the credit can be attributed to the hard work of the 2005-06 staff, we owe a great deal to those who've come before us at The BG News. Thank you to the editors, writers, photographers and designers who tried to leave this newspaper in better shape than they found it. Thank you to those from the past who separated themselves from the competition, and in doing so, have provided the 2005-06 staff with examples of success to model themselves after. ■.•*£** Now it's our turn to take the next step.

Introduction CONTENTS

Newspapers are funny things. Often maligned or applauded by their publics, they capture COVER: history in its most raw form. The phrase "newspapers capture the first-draft of history" First BG News Slaff is not a cliche. It is a simple truth. INSIDE COVER: The team of researchers who compiled this history of The BG News, trying to capture the Today's BG News Staff voices of the BGSU campus over the past 85 years, were uniformly surprised at this simple but transparent truth, revealed as we collectively thumbed through thousands of pages of old issues. The BG News, only a few years younger than this University, was and still is today 03 a forum where divergent views, people and issues meet in each issue, sometimes colliding, INTRODUCTION frozen in the context of that day. Archives, in bound paper form or microfilm, invite any ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION historian to look back and place those raw voices into the historical context that they occurred. We accepted that invitation. 4-13 The value of any newspaper's discourse is so often questioned and challenged, particularly 1920s & 1930s in today's society: Why did a staff do that? Why did a person write this particular viewpoint? In the Beginning Readers, also reacting in real time, only see, and react, to the printed story in front of them. The voices of the newspaper and its reading public, are simply a mirrored reflection of that day. 14-21 1940s & 1950s In today's ever-changing world of electronic and online media, text messaging, and whatever War Years & Growth is behind the veil of tomorrow, some question if newspapers will have a place at the table of future public discourse. Newspapers must be responsive to change, involve their readers 22-29 and report on people. And they must remain that raw, unfiltered voice of history as it occurs. 1960s & 1970s Only time will tell.
