This image, though of unrelated newspaper fragments, becomes an interesting metaphor. It illustrates how newsprint—once the primary vessel of fact, propaganda, and public emotion—ages but does not vanish. Over the decades, the medium of news has shifted from black-and-white one sheets to digital screens and algorithm-driven headlines. Especially in times of reflection, like this anniversary, people yearn for a tangible link to the past – something more than a pixelated image on a phone.
Newsprint reminds us that not all stories are meant to vanish. That history is not static; it lives in the objects we preserve, the memories we revisit, and the stories we choose to tell anew.
