In ye olden days, AP or UPI newswire teletypes would spit out a constant stream of paper in newsrooms. Editors or reporters would have to periodically use rulers to tear apart the continuous spool of paper into individual stories. These stories would be sorted into baskets or hooks on the wall. This was called "stripping the wire". In the same way, this blog will attempt to sort through relevant content on the internet to identify and "strip out" items of interest for my students.

Very good tips...really need this, this advice will help me out a lot!!! Matter of fact, I'm about to print this off :)
Great advice! Now I have an idea on what route, or steps more rather, to take when sending my resume tape to a News Director. I will definitely apply some of these tips in the near future.
Thanks for the heads up. They still make VHS tapes? :)
