When something catastrophic happened in the U.S. and abroad the public could be made aware as soon as the newspapers could print the information. The telegraph inspired to the formation new news agencies or news wires such as the Associated Press. They used the telegraph to send the news to customers in different locations which broadened their customer base. News reports also became shorter because telegraphs charged by the word so the most important points of the news story was sent and
Before the founding of America newspapers were local and worked for their own agenda. With the unfair taxes and acts that were passed by Parliament the nation needed to create a unity in the colonies. Colonies formed Committees of Correspondence to keep each other informed of the resistance efforts throughout the colonies. Newspapers reprinted the tales of the protests and actions against Britain. This created American propaganda to obtain fair treatment from Britain. The greatest time that the newspapers came together to inform the colonies of the Boston Massacre. Being the biggest piece of propaganda at the time, the massacre lead to more colonists believing that they could be a part of a bigger political community and was one of the turning points in American History that lead to the independence of the country from British rule.
Did you ever wonder why the columnist had lots of problems with the british. They hated the bridis bridis made rules and the ruler of bridis. them pay taxes that was no fun.
TIME’s founders took advantage of the rising radio industry to promote their magazine which by 1939, meant that TIME was a recognized popular news source for not only many Americans but Britons as well. Biases that should be taken account are pro-Allied sentiment even though the United States considered herself neutral during 1939.
The idea that what the masses care about politics or ruling became an almost instant situation. Those masses took the changes in news reporting in stride and mostly welcomed the printing press. The royals, religious institutions, and upper classes were the ones screaming about the horrors

The New York Times had all the information on what was happening in Europe, however even though the editors knew the information just DIMINISHED. The thing I truly never understood is that, why would reporters have information and never publish what they truly could. Its essence became knowable very fast, from Nazi threats and undisputed eyewitness reports collected by Americans agents (Gonchar).“The original sin of neglecting the Holocaust and the current trend that has seen unprecedented coverage of alleged genocides may very well be linked,” (Kersten). “The New York Times, the nation 's leading newspaper, didn’t report on the full effect of the killing of the Jews. (“The United
Most people received primary education and were able to read newspapers, causing more and more people involved with the political world through newspapers. Some newspapers were biased and only provided favorable attention to a certain campaigner (Doc.F). A lot of people who read the same newspaper thought the same way and would agree with whatever the newspaper would say. The people would one day like a candidate, but after reading an article people suddenly believed that change should be favored over a decent president (Doc. F). To resolve such biased views, there was an increase in the variety of newspapers that were sold between 1775 and 1835 (Doc.G).
The birth of the Industrial Revolution in England was a crucial point in history. Industrialization is the large-scale introduction of manufacturing, technological enterprises, and productive economic activity into an area. During this era, rural populations declined as people sought higher wage jobs. The speed at which goods were produced increased with new inventions. Farmers were able to support the growing population with efficient farming tools.
In 1846, a man named Richard Hoe invented the steam cylinder rotary press. This new innovation in technology made the process of newspaper printing both fast and low cost. The steam cylinder rotary press along with the telegraph made the collection and distribution of news faster that ever thought possible, which led to the formation of the Associated Press in 1846. Gathering information by wire, newspaper publishers from around the nation were able to work cooperatively, which facilitated in the emergence of major metropolitan newspapers, containing national and international events. These major metropolitan newspapers, such as Horace Greeley’s Tribune, and James Gordon Bennett’s Herald, were available in the larger Northeast cities and even circulated far beyond the cities because of the steam rotary press’s speed and low cost efficiency. The availability of national and world news was an important factor in unifying Americans across the union however; the major newspapers were located in the North. Southern newspapers generally had very small budgets and could not reach the masses like their Northern counterparts, which means Southern newspapers had little or no impact outside of their own communities. This new rise in journalism also proved to be a factor that reinforced the South’s sense of insecurity within the

What role did the press play in American politics in the 1790s? Did newspapers of the day serve to inform or to degrade political discussion in the early republic?
According to one of the characters from Edward Bellamy's book, the 20th century's quick change was a logical outcome due to the rapid industrialization of the 19th century (92). And while that certainly contributed to the quick paced change of Bellamy's utopian society, another factor I believe that came to play was that of the people's freedom to change. The people of the 19th century were heavily divided between two classes, that of the rich and
