Newspapers

This exploration delves into the rich history of journalism, starting from the ancient Roman newspaper, which is considered the first despite its limited circulation, through the emergence of Dutch “corantos” and German pamphlets. It highlights pivotal moments such as the launch of "The Sun" in 1833, the rise of influential figures like Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst, and the various journalism styles that have developed over time, including yellow journalism, muckraking, and photojournalism. Special attention is given to the impactful works of Jacob Riis and Lewis Hine, who used photography to expose social injustices.
