Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Beginnings of Ohio Journalism: Newspapers of the Territorial Period, 1793-1803 In journalism as in many other fields, Ohio is a national leader. Its more than 500 newspapers rank it near the top, in numbers and otherwise, in the American press. Anyone interested in Ohio´s modern newspapers will find equal interest in the birth of the states newspaper press nearly a century and a half ago when Ohio itself was largely wilderness. Ohio´s early newspaper history begins in the east, starting with the venturesome colonial printers who packed up their presses and types and joined the westward movement. The pioneer newspaper press was ever near the vanguard of westward expansion. Its history parallels that of national growth and population movement, for as each wave of emigration pushed out from the old coastal centers of population the pioneer printer-journalist, with his old hand-press and fonts of type, was not far behind. For nearly a century journalism in America was confined to the colonial seaboard. The first editor to penetrate the Appalachian wilderness and establish a paper west of the mountains was John Scull, a young Quaker just turned twenty-one, who went to Pittsburgh from eastern Pennsylvania and began there in 1786 the Pittsburgh Gazette. Even though Pittsburgh was the oldest community west of the mountains it was but a struggling frontier outpost. The young editor had to circulate his weekly sheet over a wide section of countryside to reach his scattered subscribers. To help eke out a precarious having he served as the village postmaster. His Ramage press was so small that eight impressions were required to produce one copy of the four-page 14 by 24 inch paper.
