Synopsis
The Civil War accelerated the transformation of the content of newspapers from pallid literature and opinion to robust, partisan reporting of vital events, real and imagined. Swiftly evolving printing and transportation technologies, energized by a public desperate for information, made timely and wide-spread circulation a reality for the first time.
