	Movies - -30-

-30- is a 1959 movie starring William Conrad and Jack Webb as the editor and publisher, respectively, of a fictional Los Angeles evening newspaper. As the shift of a typical day starts, in which they don't know what will happen, the newspaper is created before our eyes as different stories are discovered and reported.

The title

"-30-" has been used to signify "the end" or "over and out" since the Civil War when telegraphers tapped "XXX" to end transmissions. "XXX" is the Roman numeral for 30. How and when "XXX" transformed into "-30-" in modern printing usage is unclear. This notation is still used to indicate the end of a press release and can frequently be found in formal corporate documents posted on websites and delivered electronically or via print.
