The library is the research center of the newspaper. Reporters usually begin their assignments by looking up past information on the subject of their stories. The files of the library contain stories published The News and Courier, The Evening Post and The Post and Courier from the early 1930s to 1993. Net from 1994 through the present. Each day, the librarian and her staff go through the pages of the newspaper and enter the stories into the system.
Reporters then can call up the stories on computer at their desks.
The microfilm files carry newspapers on film that were printed back in the late 1700s. Copies of newspapers and various major dailies and weeklies are kept in the library for reporters and editors to use. At the end of each month, the newspapers are transferred onto microfilm reels, which are kept permanently. The marketing staff also handles market research, creates sales materials for the advertising department and produces many special-interest publications throughout the year. As the bundles move along a roller pallet, Mailroom employees top each bundle with inserts.
