Visit Visit our website This film, title unknown but believed to be “Photography for Newspapers“, educates high school students about how to learn photography (and in theory other topics of interest) through reading books, studying bibliographies and book reviews. In the film, an editor and a photographer of a high school newspaper learn how to do things better and more professionally. This educational film -- based on the clothes and the Speed Graphic camera shown, and the date appearing on a newspaper in the film at 1:13 -- likely dates to 1948.
