WEEKLY REPORT: 30th January- 4th February, 2023
Penny Press was taken as the subject for class discussion. The discussion included the history, components, and ethical dilemmas related to Penny press.
Penny Press, an initiative founded by Benjamin Day could be understood as the term used to refer to newspapers that were sold for a cent.
"The object of this paper is to lay before the public, at a price within the means of every one, all the news of the day, and at the same time offer an advantageous medium for advertisements."
Penny Press introduced the idea of sensationalism with the publication of human interest stories and suchlike. And it enjoyed a lot of popularity.
Day's idea majorly focused on common people and their interests.
This initiative also saw the introduction of newsboys. The quality of the content published in such papers could pose an ethical dilemma especially in the media sphere.
A presentation by the students (Vishakha, Vidhi, Gahana and Mahi) supported the class discussion.
