No joke...a newspaper that is still put together by hand

No joke...there's at least one newspaper left in the world that is put together by hand: The San Diego Union-Tribune. I stumbled upon this article, about the obsolete pagination techniques, when looking into Platinum Equity, the company that owns the Union-Tribune and is looking into buying the Boston Globe.

Everyone at the Globe is worried that Platinum will bring deep cuts similar to the ones at the San Diego paper (hundreds were laid off the day after it was bought), but seeing as the paper was still in 1970s-era layout and pagination, I'd say the Union-Tribune had plenty of reason to take those cuts.
