今日新聞頭條都昰Obama當選為下任美國總統。據報,許多人想買份報紙為後代紀存這個"歷史時刻",或昰分送親友留念,造成傳統報紙一時洛陽紙貴,一份難求。
有人一下買了六十份的紐約時報,還有許多人排隊久候期望能買到一份,更有人突發奇想到館房去偷房間門口的報紙!
剛才查了下ebay,竟然開價到400元了!!!
離結標(Nov-05-08 22:41:33 東岸時間,臺灣11-06-08 11:41:33)還有些時間,想搶下一份史料嗎?
別急別急!據ABC晚間新聞報導,紐約時報還會再加印7500份11052008的新聞,明日繼續上架開賣。(若消息有誤,請去質問ABC晚間新聞。)
不要太急著去搶標,等到明天,幾元就有一份啦。
我家裡訂有兩份報紙,我已經把頭版和特刊收起來了。天黑不好拍頭條,有機會再補。

Newspapers a Hot Commodity After Obama’s Win
For a day, at least, newspapers were cool again.
Cool enough for people to try a dozen places in hopes of finding one, and then line up around the block for it. Cool enough for the seekers to call friends for help in finding copies, and for the finders to put them up for sale online.
The election of Barack Obama produced a clamor for newspapers that publishers said they had never seen. From The Cincinnati Enquirer to The Charlotte Observer to The Dallas Morning News, papers accustomed to years of declining sales pumped out extra copies by the thousands, and could not keep pace with demand.
But these were not papers to be consumed and crumpled as usual.
“Oh no, no fingerprints on this one,” said James Allen, a delivery man from the Bronx, who stood in line for half an hour outside the Manhattan headquarters of The New York Times to get a copy. “This goes straight into a plastic bag. This is a black man becoming president. This is history, to show my grandkids some day.”
Many buyers posed for pictures holding up the front page. Copies of Wednesday’s major papers sold on eBay and Craigslist for more than $200.
Newspapers anticipated some extra demand, but they underestimated. The New York Times had printed 35 percent more than the usual number of copies for individual sale on Wednesday, an increase of about 150,000. Later, it printed 75,000 more.
On an average weekday, The Washington Post has single-copy sales — newsstand and store sales, as opposed to subscriptions — of about 100,000. It printed 30,000 extra on Tuesday night.
“It sold out almost instantly,” said Steve Hills, president and general manager of Washington Post Media.
On Wednesday morning, The Post ordered up 150,000 copies of a special edition of the day’s paper, charging $1.50, not the usual 50 cents. As the day wore on, it raised that to 250,000, then 350,000. “I’ve been here for 21 years and I’ve never seen anything like this,” Mr. Hills said.
The Chicago Tribune planned for an extra 20,000 copies, on top of its usual single-copy sales of about 50,000. “We’ve ended up doing 200,000 more,” said Mike Dizon, a Tribune spokesman.
Papers were forced to turn their headquarters into newsstands. “We sold 16,000 copies from our lobby, where we’re not set up to sell any,” said Jennifer Morrow, a spokeswoman for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Newspaper audiences also swelled online, breaking single-day records for Internet traffic. And some found other ways to profit; The Commercial Appeal in Memphis plans to sell T-shirts with the image of Wednesday’s front page, and framed reprints of the page.
Many people searching for papers found only empty racks and boxes at train stations and convenience stores. “I get home delivery of The Times, but I wanted to get an extra copy as a memento because this is a huge day,” said Simon Ressner, a firefighter who lives in Brooklyn. “But I ran into a lot of people who had the same idea. I tried six places and they were all sold out.”
Megan Soto, who works at a public relations firm in San Francisco, said: “I went to all the places where I would find a paper — Starbucks, Borders — and I texted everyone I knew, talked to people in my office. This was 8:30 or 9 a.m. They were all gone by then.”
Such talk struck a rare upbeat note for a struggling industry.
“With these monumental events, people still want newspapers,” said Marc Z. Kramer, chief executive of The Daily News in New York, which printed well over 100,000 extra copies. “They cherish the report, but they cherish the keepsake, too.”
