When Obama was elected and became President of the United States of America, the newspaper was there.
When the World Trade Center was attacked on September 11th, 2001, the newspaper was there.
The newspaper has been one of the main resource for how people get updated on current events, and also is a resource for preserving our memories of events we would love to remember, and sometimes memories that we would like to forget.
Save a piece of history by keeping various newspaper clippings that are of interest to you. It could definitely pay off in the long run. One of the best reasons to keep newspaper clippings is to keep them within the family. You can pass them down throughout generations and give your children and eventually your grand-children a first hand account about what happened in history. Let them read the stories for themselves and ask questions, you can fill in the blanks with your own personal experiences and start many stimulating discussions.
Newspaper clippings are also great to save in case your name or the name of a friend or family member is mentioned in a publication. It is a way to preserve the memory - going from being posted on the fridge towards being glued into a scrapbook.
Being mentioned in the paper for an accomplishment is an accomplishment all in itself, for the paper wants the world to know about you and what you have done. This is also a great thing to pass through generations so people can know that you made a difference at one point in your life.
Newspaper clippings can also become antiques as time goes by. If you save a specific issue with coverage of an event that changed history, it will not be long before people come asking for it. It could either be for a personal collection or also for a museum exhibit, but it will surely be highly coveted by many and you could make a little extra money on the side.
