What broke the partisan, and partly government supported, press in the United States?
What will be an ideal response?
The mass-readership newspapers of the mid-to-late 1800s relied on wire services to supply stories from around the world and nation. These stories had to be relatively nonpartisan so that various newspapers could all use them, despite the differing partisanship. These mass-readership papers also brought into prominence publishing empires that could sell papers cheaply and fund their operations with advertisements, rather than needing the support of government or party organs. The new papers were more likely to reflect the views of their (wealthy) owners, but within the restrictions that they still needed a mass market.?
