From Picas to Bytes: Four Generations of Seacrest Newspaper Service to Nebraska

Second-place winner in the Nebraska Press Women's adult nonfiction book category. If you want to know how a newspaper can serve a community, here is how it is done. This family memoir reveals a family of early adopters who used technological innovation to keep a mid-sized daily newspaper in business while many others closed their doors. But the Seacrest newspaper legacy reaches far beyond keeping a newspaper in business. It also includes strong First Amendment protections supported by the belief that the people have a right to know what their government does in their name. It involves tireless work to make Lincoln economically sound and safe, a good place to raise a family. And there were those innovations, not just in technology, but also in labor relations and in community development. From Picas to Bytes chronicles more than 100 years of untiring dedication to First Amendment protections, community building, and technological innovation.
