In old movies, they used to show newspaper spinning towards screen like this:

Here is the example from The Godfather (1972):

    This trope goes back to at least the 1930's - https://allthetropes.org/wiki/Spinning_Paper –  May 07 '21 at 11:04

    This is obviously a first appearance question: why does it get closed as trivia? – Joachim May 07 '21 at 16:00

    Just because it fits into a specific tag does not mean it isn't trivia. Why is this important, frankly IMO it's not so it's trivia? Honestly I dislike [tag:first-appearance] questions except for truly unique/unusual issues but that's just me. – Paulie_D May 07 '21 at 17:09

    Sometimes 'first appearance' questions get a really good press; other times… not so much. IDK why. https://movies.stackexchange.com/questions/51301/first-example-of-ringing-in-ears-sound-design – Tetsujin May 07 '21 at 18:28

    @Paulie_D Counterargument: because you don't think it's important it's trivia? :) I realize they are not mutually exclusive, but closing this as trivia suggests the nature of the first-appearance question is trivial (which it still might be, but something we'd have to concede). – Joachim May 07 '21 at 20:59
  • Voting is subjective so yes, if I don't think it's important then to me it IS trivia. I'm not saying ALL first appearance are trivial but in my experience the vast majority are. – Paulie_D May 07 '21 at 21:14
  • @Paulie_D Sorry, I didn't mean to sound rude, but my initial remark was about closing, not downvoting. I'm obviously not saying I disagree with your reason for downvoting this. – Joachim May 10 '21 at 15:12
  • Downvoting/Close Voting - still based on my opinion. – Paulie_D May 10 '21 at 15:14
