A few years ago I came across a collection of local newspapers from the 
Southwest (Utah, as I recall) ca. 1910.

I was surprised to see how detailed the international coverage was. European 
politics were featured in those pre-WWI days.

Interesting piece from my upstate newspaper where I grew up. Like every 
other place in the USA, people used to get their information from print 
newspapers before there was television. My mom wrote a column for a 
defunct local newspaper called the Republican Watchman about who was 
going on vacation, got a Kiwanis club award, etc. It got that name 
because it was referring to Democrats keeping an eye on the Republicans.


I had no idea, however, how many newspapers were being published in the 
past:


You wouldn't know it to look at the newsstands these days, but Sullivan 
County used to have a thriving newspaper business. Dozens of weekly 
newspapers and periodicals were spread across the towns and villages.
There was the Monticello Adviser, the Livingston Manor Times, the 
Fallsburgh News, the Bloomingburgh Journal and the Republican Watchman, 
just to name five.


There are newspapers dating back to the turn of the 20th century and 
even some stretching back since before the Civil War.
“So many of the ways of old are now gone,” remarked Gittell. “This is 
one more way that we can not only appreciate what was here before, but 
also help guide ourselves away from this concept of mass homogenized 
culture.”
