Featured websites – The Boston Journalism Trail…

April 15, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

The Boston Journalism Trail is a fascinating on-line resource for anyone interested in early journalism in America – especially as was present in colonial era  newspapers.  The website was created and is maintained by Emmanual E. (Manny) Paraschnos, Graduate Program Director and Professor of Journalism at Emerson College, Boston, MA.  Manny states, “I was born with ink in my veins…”, a fact which comes through loud and clear as you journey through the material found via The Boston Journalism Trail.  Take the time to stroll through this wonderful resource.   Click on the various landmarks to see a plethora of images showing the corresponding buildings, and where appropriate, original & historic newspapers.  Of particular note  is the “About the Boston ‘Newspaper Row’ ” link found at the bottom center of the page.

We owe Manny a debt of gratitude for his many contributions to the historic newspapers community.  If you are planning to visit historic Boston, make your first stop The Boston Journalism Trail.  Your trip will be enhanced by what you find.
