delivery boy with Jamie Brown

“Final Deadline” delivers

While seeking inspiration for the newsroom scenes in my new novel “Final Deadline,” I came across some old photos. Who can guess the circumstances for this one?

1. Deepfake alteration of an image captured during my first job delivering newspapers (apparently in 1933).

2. Hanging out with the good-looking extras on the set of “Newsies” (Christian Bale was cut from the frame).

3. The time News-Journal marketing maven Jamie Brown decided leaping from a tall building would get more people to read newspapers (which, to be fair, worked as well as any other idea).

4. Your turn. Let me see your guess in the comments.
