Newspapers in the colonial times of America were the biggest way of communication throughout the colonies. A newspaper is a serial publication containing news, other informative articles, and usually advertisements. They are relatively inexpensive, both to print and/or purchase, and provide a lot of useful information to people that otherwise, would have remained clueless about what was happening outside their town. “Hand-written newsletters” had been around much longer than what we would call “newspapers”
The newspapers still the main source of hard and important news story for people. Therefore, news headlines are extremely important to keep the newspaper’s value and the stories importance to grab the readers’ attention. The popularity and readability of the article quite often depends on the headline which is a representative part of the article and can, therefore, be considered as the most important part of publicist articles (Rich, 2010, p.259) The connotation of the news headline is important

has also become key for preserving and maintaining democracy through participation. When newspapers fail to give ethnic writers sufficient space for their works, their volume of writing in the newspaper decreases. This underrepresentation gives an unfair view of the actual representation of ethnic groups, causing them to believe that they are not democratically-important.
The Cronkiteville Chronicle, a weekly newspaper in Cronkite County, has a noble idea for raising awareness and trying to reduce drunk driving; however, their plan of action is not as honorable. Their current editor-in-chief proposed the notion of publishing the mugshots of anyone convicted of drunk driving in the Cronkiteville area with their name, age, address and particulars of his or her arrest and later court actions. This notion brings forth a few ethical concerns. The drunk driving arrests
historical newspapers to argue that the British and the Americans applied the idea of manifest destiny to succeed in the Klondike Gold Rush. Arenson states, “An extensive reading of the region’s newspapers and an examination of thousands of commercial photographs reveal how this emerging world view played out in daily life, especially in the striking collection of newspaper editorials and images that united American and British symbols and destinies.” Arenson closely examines newspapers articles
about getting to know him better, but that it’s about Juli and the newspaper article on the sycamore tree being cut down. “Granddad, you don’t understand that girl is a royal pain. She’s a show-off, she’s a know-it-all, and she is pushy beyond belief... She’s been stalking me since the second grade!... When I looked up, he was sitting there holding out the newspaper to me. ‘Read this’ he said. ‘Without prejudice...’ I shoved the newspaper in
The effects and impacts of technology continue to be a widely debated topic within the contemporary era. Sherry Turkle makes the provocative statement at the onset of her novel entitled, “Alone Together”, that suggests technology to be “seductive when it what if offers meets our human vulnerabilities”. (2011:1). Technology can be perceived to have primarily been designed for problem solving purposes, such as serving as a medium to improve efficiency or increase the production process, however, has

press, the newspaper industry had a complete different look. From the way that they were written and produced, to the way that they were bought and delivered to the reader, they were different. The penny press is responsible for changing the newspaper industry into something that we are able to recognize today. The New York Sun was the first penny press published. It was soon followed by the Evening Transcript and the New York Herald. This new type of newspaper changed how the other newspaper were run

writings. For example, a comparison between journalism and early newspapers to present day newspapers would yield less variance in the language or style, depicting the need for communication to be “very much in a present which keeps itself in equilibrium or homeostasis by sloughing off memories which no longer have present relevance” (Ong 46). The Bible can transcend time, and newer versions use writing to elicit emotional responses. A newspaper does not. A newspaper’s job is to act as an informative source
For my research topic for this class, I chose to look into the Panic of 1873 and its effects at the state level, particularly as associated with the railroads. As a major factor in the panic was the drop off after the post-civil war railroad boom, in which there was heavy investment, but little returns, causing several banks to fail, among the factors leading to the national crisis. However, how did the railroads affect the state of Wisconsin during the crisis? This is the question at the heart of
Journalists work in many areas of life, finding and presenting information. However, for the purposes of this manual I define journalists principally as men and women who present that information as news to the audiences of newspapers, magazines, radio or television stations or the Internet. Within these different media, there are specialist tasks for journalists. In large organisations, the journalists may specialise in only one task. In small organisations, each journalist may have to do many different
On November 11, 2015, The New York Times Editorial Board wrote an editorial titled “Don’t Leave Refugees Out in the Cold.” This text went into detail about the current problems refugees are encountering in different countries, mostly ones in Europe. They discuss how many refugees are trying to get out of their war ridden countries and how many are actually getting help. They talk about how much money and supplies they are supposed to receive and how much they actually see. In the end the authors

As types of government varies throughout the world, basic levels of freedom vary along with it. Freedom of the press, otherwise known as journalistic freedom, is in part with these basic freedoms. The country of Norway has one of the highest levels of press freedom in the world. Essentially, journalistic censorship in this egalitarian society is absent. Most laws in Norway, in relation with the dissemination of information, are put into place in favor of the citizen’s right to the access of transparent
photography in the 1950s is a more eclectic phenomenon, harder to classify. This can be attributed to the commercialisation of photography by the mid-century due to the rise of print media during the 1940s. There was an upsurge in newspaper photography. Newspapers like the Rocky Mountain News in Denver specialised in hardball journalism, featured regular photographer Morey Engle with sensational pictures. The emergence of new magazine like Ebony in 1945 provided work for African American
