EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from 1979, we see a beaming Chris Tait proudly holding his trophy after winning the highly coveted North-East final of the Newsboy or Girl of the Year competition. The talented 15-year-old Dunston lad emerged victorious among a pool of 19 boys and girls, earning him the opportunity to represent his region in the upcoming London final. With dreams of attending the Moscow Olympics on the line, Chris's achievement was celebrated by Newcastle Chronicle and Journal Ltd. , who presented him with a portable television set as a token of their appreciation. Standing alongside Chris is Mr. Geoff Clark, general circulation manager for the esteemed publication. This snapshot captures not only an incredible moment in young Chris's life but also reflects an era when newspaper delivery jobs were highly sought-after positions for teenagers seeking part-time employment. It serves as a reminder of how hard work and dedication can lead to remarkable opportunities even at such tender ages. As we delve into this nostalgic image from four decades ago, it reminds us that competitions like these provided invaluable experiences for youngsters while fostering their passion for reading and journalism. This photograph encapsulates both youthful enthusiasm and aspirations during a time when televisions were treasured possessions that brought families together around shared entertainment.
