Headspeth says that when he worked at the South Boston News, the newspaper would not print gossip or crimes involving prominent people "because everyone knew anyway."
After working on the family paper for some years, Headspeth "could pretty much run the place." At this time, most newspapers were run by men who could do the whole job, from picking up the mail in the morning to writing a story, setting the type, printing the job and delivering it. Those who could afford it hired a pressman to print. As a printer, Headspeth initially made $25 a week.
