Paper View Monday: The Ledger of Lakeland, Florida

I did my first internship at The Ledger in lovely Lakeland, Florida back in the summer of 1998, not long after this building opened. Here’s a fact about that summer that blows my mind: Reporters didn’t have Internet access on their individual computers at the time. Also, as the building was still quite new, there was an allegedly strict policy about using only company-issued no-spill drink containers in the newsroom. I have a feeling they’re not using those any more, though I still have, and use, mine.
