This month’s website update: Adding a source citation at the bottom of each newspaper article, and an all-in-one bibliography page for the newspaper articles. It’s been something that’s long overdue, I think. Citations are given in MLA format; all of the necessary information is there if needed to convert to APA or Chicago styles.

The bibliography page can be found under the new “Resources” tab, where “Links” used to be. That page is now a subsection of Resources, which I have plans to expand in future site updates.

Are there any additions to the website you’d like to see in future updates? Comment below and let me know!

New Newspaper Articles!

In honor of the beginning of the Newsboys Strike of 1899, I’ve added new first-hand newspaper articles to City Hall Park!

The Evening Post had interesting views on the strike, because—as they mention in an article about strike leadership—some of the newsboys were writing copy themselves and giving it to the newspaper offices to publish. (That same leadership article does not paint “Kid” Blink in a positive light…) The Post articles also back up one or two early events that are reported on only in one other newspaper, the Tribune.

The complete Evening Post index is here: https://cityhallpark1899.com/newspaper-articles/the-evening-post/

Happy New Year!

Newly added to the website today are articles from the Brooklyn Eagle. There aren’t very many—just five—but they offer a different perspective on the strike than the ones provided by Manhattan-based newspapers.

And since today is the day for resolutions, I resolve to post on the blog more frequently than last year. (Seventeen is the number to beat, and I already have three scheduled for later this year…) In the works are some book reviews, in addition to more song lyrics and random newspaper articles involving newsies. Is there anything else y’all would like to see on the blog in the future?
