Zusammenfassung

Picryl description: Public domain image of child labor, exploitation, children workers, economic conditions, free to use, no copyright restrictions.

Im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert verließen sich Zeitungsverleger auf Zeitungsjungen ("Newsies"), um ihre Zeitungen auf den Straßen der Städte zu verteilen. Die Nachrichtensprecher kauften ihre Zeitungen und mussten sie in der Regel alle verkaufen, um einen ordentlichen Gewinn zu machen. Im Jahr 1899, als die Kosten für Zeitungen plötzlich anstiegen, inszenierte ein Kontingent von Newcomern aus New York City einen Streik gegen Großverleger wie Joseph Pulitzer und William Randolph Hearst.
