How Cheap News Made Americans Click Faster Than Tinder
The 19th century's cheap, daily newspaper didn't just hit the stands—it 'remade how Americans engaged with the world.' Suddenly, folks stopped talking to their spouses and started having steamy relationships with headlines. It was less 'happily ever after' and more 'press me, I'm irresistible.' The paper wasn't just a sheet of paper; it was a binder full of gossip, politics, and scandal delivered cheaper than a bad cup of coffee.
