Printing real headline news on the Commodore 64 with The Newsroom's Wire Service

I have fond memories of this software as a kid. I used it on an Apple IIE at school. It felt powerful. You - a kid!! - could create a newspaper. It had a cartoon feel to it, but I never felt like the software condescended to me as a kid. It gave me real word-processing and editing and layout tools. Nothing like what's available today, but at the time, you really could work with friends and produce and print out a broadsheet/newspaper on a dot matrix printer and hand it out (or have your dad or mom photocopy it at work).
