COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Newspapers in the Carolinas are revving up their printing presses amid demand for commemorative editions following President-elect Barack Obama's historic victory.
The State newspaper in Columbia ran 10,000 copies Wednesday, boosting its single-copy run to a total of 37,000. Publisher Henry Haitz said it is the first special edition of The State since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
The Sun News of Myrtle Beach is offering a press plate copy of its front page for $20.
In North Carolina, The Charlotte Observer ran an additional 20,000 newspapers on top of its usual 33,000 single-sale copies. The News & Observer of Raleigh has a poster front page for $15.95, and The News & Record of Greensboro has pages mounted on a marble or wood plaque for $75.
