• Jersey City News, March 17, 1896
  This specific edition of The Jersey City news includes many different stories from Washington D.C., showing that the newspaper found political news to be significant. The news covered from Washington D.C. includes information on the supreme court and justices, and even congressional decisions. The editor could have included all of this information and news from Washington D.C. because decisions made in places such as congress and the supreme court could have a large impact on cities like Jersey City.
• Jersey City News, March 18, 1897
  The Jersey City News reported on many different events that occurred throughout the United States, but the paper also highlighted major world-wide current events. For example, when a Greek schooner was sunk by the Sebenico, a gunboat under control of the British Admiral commanding the British squadron in Cretan waters, the Jersey City News included it as front page news. This expresses to us that not only did the editor believe that this was important news, but also that the audience is interested in current events outside of the United States.
