There's something about the past that remains relevant even in the present day. It's why people like to collect old trinkets, buy old houses, and spend hours in public library archives. The first newspaper in the U.S. was printed in 1690, but even old newspaper clippings, comics, and snippets can be relevant now.
That's what we found out when we came across the Instagram page "Yesterday's Print" that shares vintage newspaper clippings. Some of them include headlines, others are poignant old-timey comics, and some are simple, short jokes from the funnies section. So, join us in rediscovering old-school humor from vintage newspapers that can still be relevant today!

That is simply because women do not all simply dress for superficial reasons. Many dress for effect, and when other women of similar intent see someone throwing off the curve by going much further, it makes them frustrated. They want to generate a response from a target group, and that other woman dropped a b**b on their plans.

It turns out that the publishers ran it without obtaining a license. The man behind it, Benjamin Harris, had to go to jail for it.
The newspaper was titled "Publick Occurrences Both Forreign and Domestick" and came out only in Boston. Although it was ill-fated, it was quite modern for its time. It was the first multi-page (only four) newspaper and featured topics like politics, crime, and even gossip and scandal. The last of the four pages was left blank so that readers could write in their piece of news and hand it in to be published in the next issue.

And it applies to innocent people too (because yes, plenty of people get found not guilty!), the poor innocent ones amongst them have spent that time in jail for nothing, and the rich innocent ones didn't. The bail system is flawed and unfair by definition.

The bail system in the US just means you don't go to prison if you're rich. Or if you say a compliment about the president. Obviously, that second one only works if you're white.

Although public sentiment was different, the papers avoided criticizing it. The next newspaper, The Boston News-Letter, survived after its initial release.
However, it was a tool of the colonial establishment. At the top of every issue, there was a phrase, "Published by Authority," just like in the "London Gazette." The format of this newspaper sort of set the tone for what papers in 18th-century America looked like. There was only one sheet of paper, with text written on both sides in two columns. At the end of the second page, readers could buy ads, but newspaper advertising became lucrative only in the 19th century.

In the beginning of the 19th century, newspaper circulation was in the thousands in America. Not everyone would read them, given that illiteracy was still quite common.

In the 1830s, "penny papers" started to pop up. To make newspapers available for the masses and the working class, publishers started selling cheap, mass-produced newspapers that cost only one penny. Some examples include The Boston Herald, the Philadelphia Public Ledger, and the Baltimore Sun. At first, they were only available in the big cities, but, with time, spread to smaller cities in the South and the West.

Except for maybe the radio, it was the only place people would find out about what was going on in the world. Alternative, or "underground," newspapers began publishing, with different interest groups wanting one that represented them, whether by trade, ethnicity, occupation, or religion. The "Village Voice" of Greenwich Village in New York was one of them, which began publishing in 1955. It was a place for artists and various creatives like Jonas Mekas and Linda Solomon.

Why aren't we reading newspapers anymore? Julian Novitz, a lecturer in the Department of Media and Communication at Swinburne University of Technology, explains that our attention spans are no longer compatible with weekly or monthly newspapers and magazines.
"Casual readers are less willing to wait for a weekly or monthly print magazine to arrive in the post or on a newsstand. The ready availability of free, or significantly cheaper, digital content may deter them from purchasing print subscriptions or individual issues."

That's a nice marketing strategy, of course, but there are other elements at play. Some experts note that people are experiencing "digital fatigue" and want to consume more and more physical media. So, perhaps newspapers and print magazines won't go out of style that quickly.
New Yorker's staff writer Nathan Heller explains the long-lasting appeal of print media like this: "What made magazines appealing in 1720 is the same thing that made them appealing in 1920 and in 2020: a blend of iconoclasm and authority, novelty and continuity, marketability and creativity, social engagement and personal voice."

I hate getting a foot wedgie. When you sock gets super tightened on your toes from friction of putting them in your shoes.
