Tabloid journalism was new also, and two things which contributed to its development were a new very high level of basic literacy which was made possible by city life, and more people being able to take advantage of public (US use of word) schools, as well as cheap raw materials for paper and ink available from the colonies. Not to mention, a distribution system and ready market made possible by the industrial revolution and city living.
