Newspaper publishing costs and reader expectations in the 19th century
A reflective piece discusses the high costs and labor of newspaper publishing, noting profitability only in large cities through advertising and circulation. It contrasts northern fortunes with southern struggles, details the labor behind daily editions, and observes readers’ paradoxical reluctance to pay for morning papers. It closes with a wry tavern anecdote about a patron’s astronomy lesson and a host’s quip.
