By just looking and reading the front page of newspaper from years ago you can see the similarities of how they are set up and the content they contain. They both
The Dartmouth, originally called The Dartmouth Gazette, was founded on August 27th, 1799 by Moses Davis in Hanover, New Hampshire. Davis, after founding the paper, attempted to gather subscribers from the sparsely populated Upper Valley, a challenging task. Davis succeeded in acquiring subscribers, and charged them annual fees. These fees were the only source of revenue for the early Dartmouth Gazette. Originally, a subscription to the Gazette cost a dollar and fifty cents per year. Davis initially lacked the funds necessary to print the issue and cover the other costs associated with the newspaper, so he imposed an additional fee of twenty-five cents on his unsuspecting subscribers—subscribers who had already paid their annual fee—to get the
Rising international hostility and intensifying wars became a source of aesthetic influence in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Due to multiple wars across the world and dwindling military support in America, news media and propaganda artists found inspiration in exploring the political and social controversies both in America and around the world. Newspaper publishers, such as the New York World and the New York Journal thrived in analyzing and reporting progress made in the fight to obtain power in smaller countries: “Two newspapers locked in a fierce competition for readers, William Randolph Hearst’s New York Journal and Joseph Pulitzer’s New York World, strove to outdo each other with sensational headlines about every Spanish atrocity in

Journalism has held an important role in society since the seventeenth century; people have depended on journalists to provide new and important information concerning a wide variety of topics. This dependency has led to a great deal of trust in journalists and their word and allowed for journalists to publish what they please. Mencken took advantage of the people’s trust when he published the article “A Neglected Anniversary” in the New York Evening Mail. Mencken created his own history of the bathtub and released it to the public in 1917. The manner in which the article is written completely deceived the readers; many truly believed Mencken’s account was true, and the story was believed for quite some time, even after Mencken revealed the truth. The developing trust in journalism and a journalist’s word during the early twentieth century created for the instant acceptance and longevity in belief of Mencken’s hoax.
The 1920’s where a time of conservatism, it was a time of great social change. From the world of fashion to the world to politics, forces clashed to produce the most explosive decade of the century.

The clear distinction comes with the content of the pictures and again it revolves around the interests of organizations: money and social issues. One major difference and an unexpected part was the ad for Oracle in the WSJ which took up as much space if not more than the Reid commentary, the Russian test, or even the picture from the Atlanta crisis.
