Temporal Coverage | 1909-1909 |
Description | The Weekly News, originating in Anacostia, Washington D.C., aimed at the working class, especially those east of the Anacostia River. With limited extant issues from August to December 1909, it expanded from a four-page, three-column publication to a seven-column format by December 1909. Proprietor and manager Elias Auger, a local Baptist minister, oversaw its operations. Early issues featured society listings, church updates, and advertisements, evolving to cover downtown Washington and Southeast neighborhoods. Despite offering diverse content including poetry and household tips, it lacked the advocacy seen in similar papers. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1909 of this newspaper. |
