The piece argues that historic news spread via papers like The Pennsylvania Evening Post and supported by advertisers such as Hyns Taylor and David Pancoast. It asserts advertising underwrites printing and gathering costs, keeping papers affordable, and notes a possible government subsidy as a hypothetical alternative.
