The first newspapers faced plenty of challenges. For one, political pressure during this time was very tense. Printers could get in trouble for releasing newspapers that had conflicting views. Due to the turbulent times and the fact that a newspaper was likely written and printed by a very small group of people, newspapers could cease production very easily to a variety of reasons, from war to equipment being destroyed in fires. These newspapers also had to rely a lot on being transported if they were to be read, which was incredibly difficult. Most of the time, these newspapers were handed out in public places and the information was spread by word of mouth. There was no efficient way to deliver a mass amount of newspapers (and no efficient way to print them) due to the main form of transportation being horseback.

The Penny Press era revolutionized newspapers. Newsboys started being used, which helped the circulation of the papers, which was a problem in the past era. A focus on advertising made it possible for the printers to be able to fund themselves, instead of relying on political investors. This also allowed them to be able to explore more topics without having to focus entirely on politics. However, scandals and violence became a huge part of the news. This blocked out a lot of other important information, as to be expected. However, the circulation of newspapers increased incredibly during this era, which helped them remain a way of finding out information.

The Yellow Journalism era was full of incorrect information and scandal. Newspapers became focused on "sensational" type stories, instead of ones rooted deeply in fact. This type of writing sold a lot of papers, but was dangerous. In fact, it pretty much started the Spanish-American war, when two publishers decided to sell rumors in their paper about how a Spanish ship was plotted to sink by American forces. You can only imagine all the other effects of this type of journalism, and all the tension and fear it could cause.

Modern journalism is the type of journalism we are most used to today. With the inventions of the telephone, television and eventually computers, news quickly became more accessible than ever before. Before yellow journalism, the news was mostly fact-based, and then was corrupted by sensationalism. Modern journalism is a mix of the two. It mixes facts with biased opinions in an attempt to stay fair to an audience. The challenges that this type of news face is the easy inclusion of propaganda, a very quickly moving news cycle, and viral culture. Anyone could post about anything, and even if it doesn't have any or much evidence to back it up, it can spread and affect thousands to millions of people.
