Greeley does the thinking for the whole West at $2 per year for his paper.
The New York Tribune in 1856 had a circulation of 220,000—many of whom were Westerners
For almost every novel I've written, I've read the daily newspaper of the time almost as if it were my current subscription. For 'Two Moons,' which was set in 1877, I think I read just about every day of the 'Washington Evening Star' for that year. For 'Henry and Clara,' I read the 'Albany Evening Journal' of the time.
When Ford sells a car, a dealer isn't allowed to take out the engine and put a different one in. When a newsstand sells the Washington Post, no one can go to the newsstand and pay them to rip out the classified section and put their own classified section in - if they could, they would do so.
I actually buy the paper version of The New York Times maybe once or twice a week.
I keep all my Sunday papers out, I keep them all week and then I change them every Sunday.
You can't just buy the sports section of 'The New York Times.' You take the whole paper.
I'll watch CNN in the mornings to catch up on what's going on. On the weekends, I get the Sunday edition of 'The New York Times.'

I pay attention to the news. I take the 'New York Times.' I do the Saturday crossword.
