As continuation from yesterday’s post, some more surviving interviews that have came to notice of an era that has long past into history. Some years ago, there was a film produced called “They Made News” about the then surviving newsreel cameramen talking about some of the stories they shot during their careers. While I have not as of yet been able to locate a copy of the program in its entirely, clips of it are online at Bridgeman Art Library via the links below.
