Newspapers and Newspaper Syndicates

Space lacks for a complete list of newspapers, nor would such a list be desirable. Every writer should get in touch with nearby newspapers as possible markets for local material, such as news items, or articles regarding men or places of especial interest. In submitting such material, it is wise to mention the fact that payment is expected -if it is. Poems are rarely paid for. In some newspaper offices, the practice obtains of clipping the article from the paper when it appears, and sending or taking it to the cashier for payment. The list here given is geographically arranged, and includes papers in every state. The political complexion of the newspaper is also stated. Names are given without city's name, which is in all cases understood, as, for example, Union, Springfield, Mass., which should of course be addressed The Springfield Union.

Newspaper editors are chary of expressing wants, for, unlike magazine editors, they have no time to examine unsuitable manuscripts, nor have they facilities for handling a large amount of submitted material. They receive a great many submissions in the ordinary course of events. Why, goes their reasoning, invite more? Most of the fiction and general material used is purchased through syndicates, because these syndicates know what is required, and set about supplying it in a businesslike way, in the quantity, of the length, and the special kind of matter desired.
