Read all about it!


Today, a tweet can distribute news from the breeze to millions of people in seconds. But we live in a world with an endless, endless end of news over the last four decades, because CNN launched the 24-hour press cycle in 1980. Before the technological revolution, however,Press dogs knew there was something major on foot when they heard newspapers, or newspapers, shouting a key phrase: "Extra! Extra! Lily on this subject!" But why this phrase in particular? And where does it come from?

Well, according to theNew York Publishers Association, in the 19th and beginning20th centuriesThe newspapers shouted the sentence while trying to sell "extras", editions of a deferred journal of the regular publication cycle. The newspapers have been printed in the morning and evening, but of course, some major news has occurred between the two editions. If an extraordinary event occurred after a date limit of publication, many newspapers will print a second edition to deliver the news, that is to say an "extra". And to draw attention to the news of the news, newspapers would move from their way to push these secondary editions, shout, "Extra! Extra!"

However, extras finally became useless when the radio came in the 1930s, according toMichael Stamm Business Sound: Newspaper Radio and New Media Policy. The newspapers could simply not compete with news from the breeze as a radio show.
