Boston Daily Times
''The Boston Times'', also known as the ''Boston Daily Times'' and ''Boston Sunday Times'', was a newspaper published in Boston, Massachusetts from c. 1826–1933. At various periods in its history it operated as a daily newspaper and a weekly newspaper. History Various sources give differing accounts over the origins of ''The Boston Times''. Sources are in agreement that the paper was founded by editor George Roberts. University of Wisconsin historian and journalism educator Willard Grosvenor Bleyer wrote that this newspaper began publication in February 1836. Likewise, historian Alexander Saxton stated that ''The Boston Times'', then known as ''Boston Daily Times'', was "put into mass circulation in 1836". However, contemporary published accounts date the paper to at least ten years earlier and it is likely that the paper began publication sometime in 1826 or slightly earlier. An 1826 Boston publication stated that ''The Boston Times'' was already being published under editor Geo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Newspaper
A newspaper is a periodical publication containing written information about current events and is often typed in black ink with a white or gray background. Newspapers can cover a wide variety of fields such as politics, business, sports and art, and often include materials such as opinion columns, weather forecasts, reviews of local services, obituaries, birth notices, crosswords, editorial cartoons, comic strips, and advice columns. Most newspapers are businesses, and they pay their expenses with a mixture of subscription revenue, newsstand sales, and advertising revenue. The journalism organizations that publish newspapers are themselves often metonymically called newspapers. Newspapers have traditionally been published in print (usually on cheap, low-grade paper called newsprint). However, today most newspapers are also published on websites as online newspapers, and some have even abandoned their print versions entirely. Newspapers developed in the 17th century ...

Penny Press
Penny press newspapers were cheap, tabloid-style newspapers mass-produced in the United States from the 1830s onwards. Mass production of inexpensive newspapers became possible following the shift from hand-crafted to steam-powered printing. Famous for costing one cent () while other newspapers cost around six cents, penny press papers were revolutionary in making the news accessible to middle class citizens for a reasonable price. History As the East Coast's middle and working classes grew, so did their desire for news. Penny papers emerged as a cheap source of news with coverage of crime, tragedy, adventure, and gossip. The penny papers represented the crudest form of journalism because of the sensational gossip that was reported. The penny press was most noted for its price – only one cent per paper – while other contemporary newspapers were priced around six cents per issue. The exceptionally low price popularized the newspaper in America and extended the influence ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
