You got to love the internet.

Ok. When Disneyland opened, they sold an 1890s-era style newspaper for $.10 . Appropriate-period dressed newpaper boys sold the paper on Main Street, U.S.A., reminiscent of a bygone era.

The Question is:
Who was the paper's editor?

And for a Bonus:
What was the paper called?

After a bit of research I'm going to go for; Martin Sklar writing the The Disneyland News.

I didn't know that they used to have a newspaper?
