Description
Turn of the century Chicago newspapers ushered in an era of news reporting that was, unlike earlier periods, in tune with the particulars of community life in specific regions of the city. Vigorous competition between older and newer-style city papers soon broke out, centered on civic activism and sensationalist reporting of urban political issues and the numerous problems associated with rapid urban growth. The competition was especially fierce between the Chicago Times (Democratic), the Chicago Tribune (Republican), and the Daily News (independent).
This collection hosts some of the numerous known newspaper publications of the nineteenth and twentieth century in Chicago.
