Don't forget John Phillip Sousa's "The Washington Post"

Ben Folds, on a reporter laid off after 25 years.

Love it. Add I must add: Tom Paxton's "Daily News" ...

My dad recently came up to Chicago to do a piece for The Paper Machete show in Lincoln Square about his 30 years at the Kansas City Star. He didn't sing any songs, but he did tell some damn fine stories. Here is the podcast:

Two major omissions: Joe Jackson's "Sunday Papers" and Stan Ridgway's "Newspapers."

How about "William Worthy"?

And, from the other side of the pond, Mickey MacConnell's "The Boys of the Byline Brigade"

It’s four in the morning, the paper’s in bed
the Newsroom’s as quiet as the tomb.
When the old man gets up from his seat by the door
another day’s nightwork has been done.
Like a greying old shadow he peels on his coat
and he knocks off the lights on his floor
and he melts with the shadows into the grey dawn
just before the presses start to roar.
