The Indiana State Library's newspaper portal — the build's digitized window into the state's press, runs and edges stated
What it is: the open door through which this build read the newspaper record it could not otherwise reach. Its county window is the South Bend News-Times, 1913–1931 — the Tribune's great rival in the two-daily era — which the passes read directly (the 24 June 1915 number serves the Farms file). Its wider value proved just as real: the BMV leg's patronage-era spine is a row of state papers read first-hand in this portal — the Kokomo Tribune of 13 July 1921 (the mail-order plate course), the Muncie Post-Democrat of 3 August 1923 (240,000 plates shipped to the branches), the Greenfield Daily Banner of 27 December 1928 (official branches, not notaries), the Indianapolis Times of 4 February 1943 (the raid bills, control "through Mr. Alexander"), the Decatur Daily Democrat of 20 November 1958 (the UPI account of the system's mechanics and money).
Its standing, from this build's experience: an item read in the portal is an item read — the page as printed, dateline and all — and the fragments cite paper and date, not portal. The portal is a carrier with a catalogue: what it holds, it holds at page strength.
Where it fails: at its runs' edges, which are holdings facts, not history's: the News-Times window closes in 1931 while the paper lived into the 1930s, and the county's own dailies stand behind other doors entirely. The build prints each run's span with its use so no reader mistakes the window for the wall.
