Good point.
But...

Some of my fondest memories are of watching PJ prints drop off the wire into
a box. You could look at each one as it arrived (if you were stuck in the
news room) or flip through the box when you got back at the end of the day.

The old wire services were the primary memory for PJ accomplishments.
Everyone got a copy even though only a few were printed.

Can I can train my computer to access the wire and collect those AP images?

Who needs those video guys? Prints of the still images are what made this
country great! TV is on the ropes. Power to the digital PJs!

Then again.  Nostalgia is probably a sign of accelerated aging...
