"Reporting was an invention of the end of the nineteenth century, but it was a two-part invention: the emergence of the new occupation played off against the industrialization of the newspaper. And while there was much that united the ideology of reporters, there was much that divided the identities of the newspapers for which they worked."
-- Michael Schudson,
"Stories and Information: Two Journalisms in the 1890s,"
in Discovering the News,
(NY: Basic Books) 1978,
p. 88
