Passage 3 — summary: Paragraph 1 contrasts modern urgency with early nineteenth-century newspapers’ emphasis on local coverage: an editor would wait for a report rather than send a journalist, publication could fit the editor’s social plans, and busy-week news could be held back for a quieter week. Papers also reused one another’s non-local reports without competitive concern because communication was slow. Paragraph 2 explains that foreign reports arrived by letter and ship before telegraph networks, while The Times of London maintained extensive correspondents to inform business readers about overseas politics relevant to trade and about shipping.
