Pioneer Press Newspaper, April 20, 1995

This item is a copy of the Pioneer Press newspaper from Thursday, April 20, 1995. The front page is dominated by the headline "The toll of terror" and a large photograph of a firefighter carrying a child in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing. Smaller headlines include "The slaughter of the innocents" and "Oklahoma City blast leaves hundreds dead or missing." The newspaper appears to be printed on newsprint, the typical material for newspapers. The edges show some wear and slight discoloration consistent with age and handling. There are visible horizontal folds across the newspaper, which is common for this type of item. The ink is black and legible, although some areas may show slight fading or smudging. There are no obvious tears or significant damage, but the overall condition indicates it is an aged paper item that may be somewhat fragile. There are also small holes along the bottom edge of the front page, likely from being folded or possibly stapled at some point. The style is that of a major metropolitan newspaper from the mid-1990s. The quality is standard for mass-produced newspapers of this era.
