A throwback, duh. Maybe an updated edition, by which I mean a thoroughly reworked one, might be of some use, or, rather, of a slightly more relevant use, since, okay, I winnowed down on some ideas to work with. Still, this is about newspapers - a word which students long ago tossed into a time capsule of quaintness and vicarious forgetting - the volume is slim, and many exercises are merely rehashed versions of their predecessors.
