These 1905 images illustrate turn-of-the-century journalism as practiced by The San Francisco Call, which was published by Charles Shortridge from 1895 to 1913. This was an era of competitive journalism that began with the 1895 circulation wars between William Randolph Hearst, founder of the New York Journal (1895-1937), and Joseph Pulitzer, publisher of the New York World (1860-1931). The University of California, Riverside, contributed these images to the new "Chronicling America" digital collection of historic newspapers.
