The San Francisco Call began life on December 1, 1856, as the Daily Morning Call.
Staunchly Republican in political outlook, the Call was popular with the working classes,
and it was the city's leading morning newspaper for several decades. By the summer of
1864, the Call was boasting the highest daily circulation in the city, and its readership
continued to rise, going from 10,750 in 1865 to 41,066 in 1880. In 1884 it boasted a
circulation double that of any other daily. Originally a four page daily, the Call also put
out a weekly, published on Tuesdays, and a Sunday edition. One of the paper's early
writers was Mark Twain, who served as Nevada correspondent in 1863 and as reporter
after he moved to San Francisco the following year. In just over four months as full time
beat reporter, Twain produced some 200 articles on crime and the courts, theater and the
opera, and politics.
Among the original owners of the Call were James Joseph Ayers, Charles F. Jobson, and
Llewellyn Zublin. Peter B. Forster soon joined the group, and, by May 1866, he became
the paper's publisher of record. In 1869, George K. Fitch, Loring Pickering, and James
W. Simonton, owners of the rival San Francisco Bulletin, purchased the Call and ran it
for over two decades. By the 1890s, the paper's staff had grown to over 40, including
editorial writers, sports reporters, and drama and art critics. In January 1895, after the
deaths of Pickering and Simonton, the Call was sold in probate court to Charles M.
Shortridge, publisher of the San Jose Daily Mercury.

Formed in 1903 with the merger of the Times and the Dispatch, the Times Dispatch of
Richmond quickly emerged as Virginia’s primary newspaper of record. Indeed, its only
significant competition in the capital city was the evening News Leader, which tended to
focus on routine local issues than on statewide politics, business, and other in-depth
news. The Times Dispatch was published from 1903 until 1914, when it became,
officially, the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the city’s current newspaper. During the first
decade of the twentieth century, the Times Dispatch, a morning paper, was published in a
large broadside format, usually measuring 17 inches by 23 inches with an average
weekday issue of no more than 10 pages.
The editorial outlook of the Times Dispatch during those early years sometimes swayed
from one political or social viewpoint to another. For example, although publisher Joseph
Bryan, a Confederate Civil War veteran, opposed black equality with whites, he was not
necessarily opposed to increased rights for African-Americans and, in fact, campaigned
for a secret ballot open to both races. And yet with enactment of the new state
Constitution of 1902, which mandated severe restrictions on black rights, the newspaper
moved to different ground, supporting the radical curtailment of black voting rights amid
fears of racial discord and bloodshed.

Historians have referred to Ogden, Utah, as the graveyard of western journalism because
of the short life expectancy of the dozens of newspapers that sprang up there after 1869.
The completion of the transcontinental railroad that year quickly transformed the sleepy
agricultural town into a bustling transportation hub. Newspapers came and went, vying
for the thousands of potential readers arriving on the nine rail lines with terminals in the
city. The Ogden Standard bucked the trend. Founded by Frank J. Cannon, the Standard
first appeared on January 1, 1888, with its front page featuring a poem entitled "A Hymn
to Progress." When Cannon was elected to the U.S. Congress four years later, the paper's
business manager, William Glassman, took over day-to-day operations. He acquired the
Standard outright in 1894 and quickly molded it into a promotional organ for his own
political career- Glassman served three terms as mayor.
The paper also carried world and national news. When the Spanish American War
erupted in 1898, the story occupied the Standard's entire front page. Local news included
articles about Utah's booming mining industry, notes from the local police blotter, and
such nuggets as the Christmas Eve 1907 account of a hapless man who accidentally killed
his friend in a failed attempt to shoot his cowboy hat off with a pistol.
