Title

NY Evening World, Feb. 22, 1894

Description

The front page of the "6 o'clock extra" evening edition of the World shows a range of news, with the more scandalous, sensational news in the bottom half of the page ("below the fold"). News items include beatings, domestic disputes, trials, and other items that are only newsworthy for their titillating or sensational value-- exactly what Mrs. Quentin deplores in the fictional newspaper The Radiator. "The paper, to sell well, had to be made more and more detestable and disgraceful" (155) she tells Hope Fenno. Much of the "news" printed here is only meant to elicit disgust and bring disgrace on the people featured.
