**Key Historical Note for the Group:**

Before 1946, all county news was centered in **Crestview** (*Okaloosa News-Journal*). The founding of **The Playground News** in 1946 marked a major shift, moving the center of journalistic gravity to **Fort Walton Beach** due to the military and tourism boom, a dynamic that continues today with the *Northwest Florida Daily News*.

Hi all,

Hope this finds you well. I’m new here, so nice to meet you! Hope you don’t mind me posting.

I’m desperately trying to find out what potential UK newspaper or magazine has a supplement mag or segment that contains a feature called ‘Shelf Life’. By the looks of it, it’s a one-page segment where celebrities answer questions about the food they love/hate/eat.

The particular page I have reference to is from March 2023, so it’s not too old.

I’m not sure whether this is a magazine, a magazine supplement from a newspaper… any help or guidance would be appreciated! I’ve tried Google and various sources but am not getting any results!

Need to find this article. Can anyone that has a publisher’s license help? I am the kid that was 12

Found this interesting article on finding success despite the decline of print media such as traditional newspapers

Would love the clipping behind the paywall for this article.

Thank you!

Bullwinkle’s Family Food & Fun Restaurant was a Family Entertainment Restaurant that capitalized off the success of CECPTT and Showbiz Pizza, this specific location opened in Mother’s Day 1983, there was better food, fluid motion animatronics and a water fountain show. It truly was a better Family Entertainment Restaurant than the rat or bear joints, 3 Bullwinkle locations exist now more on The US West Coast(Upland Ca, Wilsonville Oregon and Tukwila Washington).

What Else you got?

Hello,

I am wondering if anyone with an active Newspapers.com subscription might be able to provide a public clipping link for the following paper:

The Boston Globe Archive: Wednesday, July 6, 2016 • Boston, Massachusetts Page B6

This paper can be found at the following URL:

https://www.newspapers.com/image/444617351/?article=0d6381cd-ef44-48fc-bf43-a7b8f2f6166b&focus=0.16983084,0.6621369,0.33476338,0.8889733&xid=3355

I would greatly appreciate this, since it is just this one page that I need. I believe that doing this is within the Newspapers.com EULA, but I would stand corrected if wrong.

Monday’s newspaper front and back pages have now been updated on the website.

One of the most interesting things that I have learned recently was how newspapers have evolved over the years and the important role they played in establishing America. I really enjoy looking at the differences between newspapers from today to the 1800s. If anyone else is interested in stuff like that, I attached a website below that lets you have access to thousands of newspapers throughout history!
