Odessa American: Seven and a half decades of community service

The Odessa American reflects on its 75 year history from a sparsely paved city of under 20 000 to a modern Permian Basin paper. Publisher Canty recalls postwar oil boom growth, newsroom expansion, a new five unit press, and UT Permian Basin’s rise. The paper’s mission remains to inform and support local businesses while aiding community causes like the Empty Stocking Fund. Photographer Scott Shaw recalls winning the 1988 Pulitzer for Baby Jessica coverage and the enduring impact of that moment on his career.
