This is what I have so far, I can't read some of the words, does anyone know what it could be? ^^

Haven't you opened the hi-res scans in full size? Both missing words are clearly recognizable there. ;)

I opened them with Windows view :x So it's all blurry, what should I open them with?
Damn, I struggled reading these stuff xD

- - - Updated - - -

Haaa I didn't click on enlarge that's why xD

Thanks Roland! I'll make it! xD

Where could I get newsprint paper? I found some on the USA but not shipping here :x

I wanted to say thanks to batfan10 for helping me to get the 1989 newspaper ^^'

Don't you have Photoshop or any other editing software for pixel graphics (Gimp, Photoimpact, Paintshop Pro ...)? Or install IrfanView. That's a very good image viewer.
 
Thank you Roland for the link to the thread "BTTF II 2015 USA Today screen accurate/correct inside pages found!"
But if you read it correctly the date for the USA Today newspaper : "I was able to track down the correct date for these because both had a story
about the Toronto Blue Jays Manager being fired, which happened on May 15, 1989." Not the "May 16, 1989" but the newspaper of this day is sold out ... :cry
 
Well if it happened on the 15th it probably had been mentioned on the 16th no? I mean they couldn't predict it... They publish it probably on the morning too... No? It makes sense that it appeared the next day xD

I agree with Emma. You probably don't read much newspapers. If it happens today, it's tomorrow in the newspaper. It's not as fast as the Internet, you know?! (And in 1989 they even had no Internet!) ;)

hehe by the way there are typos in the original article, like instead to say degaussing they say degausing? Should I correct this, or you guys want the exact same text even with the typos? XD
 
I bought 2 copies of this May 16, 1989 newspaper from USA Today back when I
first identified it as the one used for the movie, and I can send one of them to you
if you can cover cost of the postage.

It's fine, that's really nice ^^ batfan just bought a copy for me ^^ can you take a quick pic of the back and the money section though? I'm quite curious to see how it looks like xD thanks :)

Since Emma doesn't need it, I'd like to take it. You could ship it together with your BTTF III newspapers. I would send it back to you again, if you need it - I just need it for scanning the pages.
 
You're awesome :D

Thanks a lot! Can't wait to have it then :')

Could you tell me the exact size of the front page? So I can see according to my version, thanks a lot n_n

The USA Today newspapers are the same size as the 1955-1985 Hill Valley Telegraph newspapers.
Here is a photo with measurements that I sent the printers as a reference for my replica newspapers.
 
Yeah I already bough your hillvally telegraphs, I took my measurements from them so ok I got it at the right size haha :D
By the way do you have any "blank" pages so I could use them as filler pages? ^^

I'm writing down the main text, damn it's insanely terrible xD! Who wrote this? XD

I don't have any blank sheets right now, but I will most likely get some for filler when I offer the 4th run of newspapers this summer.
I will also get some of the repeating inside Telegraph filler pages printed after I get the Part II inside page scans digitally restored and
cleaned up for that set.

There are hints to the identity of the writers hidden in the props. :cool

They would put their own names into the prop newspaper stories and headlines. I was able to track down one of them (Sarracino) and
got some info about his experience working on the props. USA Today actually printed the 2015 newspapers that were used in the movie.

Most of the text was never meant to be legible on screen so they didn't put a lot of effort into the stories. :cool

Thanks Roland, I'll include it with your newspaper set. Since I've already got another copy, you can keep this one. :cool
