What is the significance of -30-? We are writers, ourselves. One of our founders got his start in journalism. More seasoned journalists use -30- to mark the end of their stories. The practice is slowly dying with the typewriter’s end and word processors’ rise, but it dates back to the America Civil War. -30- was telegraph code for “end” and was always used by reporters sending their stories to newspaper offices. Without the -30-, there might be more important information. Many journalists put the -30- into print in the last story they write before retirement; some ended obituaries or memorial columns about dead colleagues with it. Journalists have passed it down because it’s a strong and meaningful tradition. We aim to continue the tradition. -30- Visit 30Press.com for more.
