Eight editions a day

I remember in the 1980s, the newspaper wars were on between the New York Daily News and the New York Post. Both papers had a circulation of 1,000,000 each and they published about eight editions a day.

I remember I would spend my visits to New York walking the streets and I was all over the place. Back then they had lots of newsstands and every time I passed one, I would see one of the eight editions of each paper being displayed, as you walked around, the front page would be constantly changing. Sort of like a digital newspaper now, but they were printed. Those presses must have run non-stop day and night.
