Great article! I'm wondering if you could direct me to some references regarding regular sensationalism in newspapers during the period. I hear this stated a lot, but have been unable to locate any scholarly information discussing this in detail. Would be a big help. Thanks
Hi Byron - thanks for reading. We found the book "Superstition and the Press" to be helpful as it contains many examples along with its historical analysis of the subject matter.
You can also browse old issues of the Illustrated Police News for examples of sensationalism in the late 19th century press.
Another good resource - search JSTOR https://www.jstor.org/ for access to academic, peer-reviewed papers related to the topic. With a free account you can read many of the articles they host.
