CLEVELAND’S GOLDEN AGE OF PRINT

With memories as sharp as a stiff Lake Erie breeze, the frontline witnesses of Cleveland history reflect on the things they did to get the story. Featuring interviews with legendary reporter Doris O’Donnell, the author of Front Page Girl, this series of short documentaries chronicles a bygone era with ink-stained anecdotes from O’Donnell’s friends, colleagues and collaborators. Originally produced by Storytellers Media Group in conjunction with the Cleveland Police Historical Society & Museum, as part of the Emmy Award winning PBS series, Doris O’Donnell’s Cleveland, these episodes are now available on DVD and will be available for sale at each screening.
Back when Cleveland had three major newspapers and a host of smaller ones, journalism was often the art of breaking the right rules to get your story.

Slow down and take the time to listen to this up-and-coming young woman. Her sepia-toned folk sound comes from serious time spent at a musical crossroads somewhere between earthy confessionals and blues rock love songs.
