No instant news back then. Closest to instant was the radio or newspaper. You also got fed news reels at the movies. Movies were big as they were cheap and it was the closest thing to yet to be invented TV. The average person saw 1 or more movies per week.

In the beginning of the newsreel there is a crazy sport. College riders on horses pushing a humongous ball on the field with the horses. Maybe a takeoff on polo, just with a giant ball and no mallets. Lots of interesting news clips from around the world, as it was...97 years ago.

Hearst was one of the top names in news. The film Citizen Kane was based on Hearst.
