Book-Marketing Tip of the Day – July 6, 2018

Before the turn of the century, newspapers were called tabloids, chronicles, gazettes, etc.  Most had local stories, and distant stories were quite old because it took a while for stories to travel (and they were subject to changes from hand to hand). With the advent of the teletype, stories could be broadcast at unheard-of speed. Several papers started carrying stories from all over – north, east, west and south – and that is why they are called 'news'papers. ("The Book of Useless Information," by Noel Botham)
