“ HOW TO READ A NEWSPAPER ” 1950s EDUCATIONAL FILM WAUKEGAN NEWS-SUN NEWSPAPER XD39254 YouTube video by PeriscopeFilm

so I was watching some old educational films from the 1950s again, and came across this one about how to read a newspaper

I think this one is fascinating because on the one hand, it seems like such a silly thing to make a film about
