Chris,
        Newsprint is one of the most acidic, brittle types of paper in
existence.  Most of the academic/archival/library community is well aware of
problems with microfilm quality control that existed in the past.  Before
you accept Mr. Baker's decidedly subjective (if not biased) viewpoint, you
should consult some others who are real archivists and librarians not
authors with an ax to grind and a profit to be made from publicity.
