Everyone please celebrate by canceling the newspaper, if you haven’t already.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsboys_Strike_of_1899

The Newsboys Strike of 1899 was a youth-led campaign to force change in the way that Joseph Pulitzer’s and William Randolph Hearst’s newspapers compensated their child labor force. The strike lasted two weeks, causing Pulitzer’s New York World to reduce its circulation from 360,000 to 125,000.[1] The strike was successful in increasing the amount newsboys received by selling papers.[2]
