Neat project. I use NetNewsWire for rss. It’s interesting that the format people prefer to consume news in versus the format that news is delivered in are now so different. Newspapers went through the same thing. The older papers are all stories and were funded through the price of the paper, then ads invaded the margins. |

I assure you 19th Century newspapers had advertisements.
For example:
https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn86072192/1897-08-0...
And an 18th Century newspaper with advertisements:
https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83021183/1777-03-0...
How far back do you go to find newspapers with no advertisements?
