What's in the New York Evening Journal: America's Greatest Evening Newspaper

This is a time capsule wrapped in newsprint. Published in the late 1920s by the New York Evening Journal, William Randolph Hearst's flagship evening paper, this promotional booklet reveals how one of America's most influential newspapers presented itself to readers at the height of the Roaring Twenties. Here you'll find the paper boasting of its unmatched circulation, introducing the editors and reporters who brought New York its news each evening, and showcasing the sections that kept readers loyal: finance columns, art criticism, food writing, and illustrations that brought the city to life. It reads like a love letter from a newspaper to its readers, promising accuracy, comprehensiveness, and a family-friendly reading experience. For anyone curious about the golden age of American journalism, or about how the Hearst empire built its devoted readership, this little booklet offers an entertaining window into a vanished era of media and the confidence of a publication that claimed to be America's favorite evening newspaper for twenty-nine straight years.
