WHO'S WHO
The majority of newspaper articles have numerous surnames in
each article. Or, newspapers used 'Community Columns' such as 'Local
Glances' to cover a whole neighborhood, in which the comings and goings of
persons were written. "Correspondents" were used - a person who
lived in that section or neighborhood, who would collect interesting pieces of
information from persons living in that area, and then deliver these one-or
two-sentence items to the newspaper office. These appeared on a monthly
basis, until the paper became a weekly, then a daily.
People enjoyed seeing their own name in print (usually), and it
helped sell a few more newspapers if the family could afford it.
Interestingly, for the very early newspapers especially, it is unlikely that
many citizens even knew their name was in the paper until much later, if ever.
Community Items continue in today's newspapers.
