The newsboy

Sunnmørsposten is a newspaper that is made in Ålesund and in the old days you could only read the news on paper. Today you can also read newspapers on phones or computers. You can read about everything that happens every single day all over the world. Think about that, all over the world! A newsboy was someone that sold newspapers on the streets. Many had this as their first paid job. 10-year-old Barney Flaherty from New York was the first real known newsboy. He started his career in 1833. The boys shouted out some of the news so people would by the papers. Today there are almost no newsboys or newsgirls left. Can you think of a reason why?
