Larry Jordan's interest in journalism began in 1963, when he received a small printing press as a Christmas gift from his parents.〔Winston Mill, ("At 19 Already a Publisher Four Years," ) ''Editor and Publisher,'' December 2, 1972, pp. 30-31.〕 The boy started a newspaper for his Cedar Rapids, Iowa neighborhood as a hobby and stuck with the task long enough to develop a basic understanding of the publishing business.〔 In September 1968, while still a 15-year-old high school student, Jordan decided to try his hand at launching a city-wide newspaper.〔 Bankrolled with a $50 loan from his mother, Jordan launched an 8-page tabloid, the ''Cedar Rapids Press-American,'' with physical production handled by a local job printer.〔 The publication rapidly gained readership and advertiser acceptance and grew, to the point where by 1972 the paper had become one of the largest-selling non-daily newspapers in the state of Iowa, running 28 pages in length and produced by a part-time staff of seven.〔 The paper's total circulation in 1972 exceeded 11,500.〔 The ''Press-American'' covered serious news involving local schools and government and gained public notice over an investigative series written by Jordan pitting the non-parentally authorized psychological testing of school children against privacy rights.〔 A statewide meeting of public school psychologists resulted from the public debate springing up over the issue and Iowa state Senator Tom Riley became actively involved in the issue, making the acquaintance of the young publisher and serving as his political mentor.〔
