Two decades after printing its last edition, The News - the newspaper that started Rupert Murdoch's global media empire - will again make a stir on the streets of Adelaide with The News 20-Year Reunion. The party starts at 3pm on Saturday, April 21, at the Strathmore Hotel (where else?) on North Terrace. Check the story below Stonie's cartoon for RVSP details.  

Photos and the guys - and Janine Young - who took them were one of the things that made The News a great, readable newspaper. If you have any pix to add to this page, just email to John Harris at jharris@impress.com.au.
