It was taking European news too long to travel back to the colonies, so these first papers were not very up to date. These papers did share some local reports like illnesses, public floggings, and suicides. By 1733 more and more papers started to come out. The New York Weekly Journal came out in this year and some troubles it faced was being able to criticize public figures or not. This journal attacked political figures and eventually was taken to court. They won the trial and it was stated that as long as the reports were true than the newspaper could keep publishing them. By 1765 there were more than 30 operating newspapers in the American Colonies. The first daily paper came out in 1784.

It is said to have started in 1833 when The Sun, a New York City newspaper was founded. Benjamin Day, the founder of the The Sun, came up with this idea to because he had almost gone broke after losing so much business during a  cholera epidemic in 1832. This idea seemed crazy at the time because most papers were sold for 6 cents. Many people could not afford this, Day wanted every newspaper to be affordable because most people were literate at the time they just could not afford papers. he also implemented the Newsboy to deliver papers. This lead to a competitive era in the journalism industry. Not only did this help Americans it provided educational and factual information to new immigrants coming into America.

This comic raised sales so much there was a bidding war between 2 newspapers over the cartoonist of the comic. The battle over this comic and a greater market share coined the term Yellow Journalism.  The peak of this came in 1898 when a United States battleship sunk in the Havana Harbor. This type of journalism helped create the conflict of the situation. Yellow journalism used topics that excited readers and that lead to conflict. This lead to overly dramatic topics and headlines. It emphasized the use of crime stories, high interest stories and corruption. Some of the most used techniques during this era were banner headlines, colored comics, and large amounts of illustration. Some issues yellow journalism faced were that it literally helped lead the country into a the Spanish-American War, because of its anti-Spanish propaganda and factual errors.

The aim for the newspaper was to satisfy all, so they tried to seem non biased. By the early twentieth century readers were more interested in the scientific approach from journalist. Objective journalism determines factual reports from opinionated reports. Readers today want reporters to maintain neutral throughout their arguments. Some issues with modern journalism is that it is hard for journalist to stay un biased and not pick a side. Journalism today includes charts, stats, and infographics to convince its readers of their topics. Readers need to be persuaded in today's world, while in other forms of journalism people believed in what they read. Instead, people today have to be presented with cold hard facts.
