New_York_Times_1914

New York Times 1914 The New York Times of 1914 resembles the newspapers of today on face value. Also, the articles within paint a picture of American society that is not far off from today’s America. Of course, the specifics of the articles reflect the times. In the September 27, 1914 New York Times, Americans focused on the War in Europe, domestic issues, and were exposed to a variety of advertisements. The war between the Central and Allied powers in Europe dominate the headlines. The front page consists of stories about sunken British cruisers, French accusations directed toward its enemies, and German victory claims. It seems Americans felt an overwhelming need to be updated on the war overseas. Granted, I’m sure they were exceedingly grateful not to be apart of the actual fighting at this time. A featured article related to the war in Europe is one that contains the writings of former President of the United States Theodore Roosevelt. This weekly article titled, “What America Should Learn from the War”, he gives his thoughts on the situation in Europe and America’s position on such matters.
