New York World


The New York World was a notable newspaper published in New York City from 1860 to 1931. American author Paul Collins described the paper's now demolished headquarters in the New York World Building at 53-63 Park Row in New York City in his nonfiction book The Murder of the Century. - AsNotedIn

Walking along a vast Park Row newsroom so crammed with rolltop desk that it was nearly barricaded, one could read panel after panel on walls placarded with exhortations:

ACCURACY, ACCURACY, ACCURACY!

and

WHO? WHAT? WHERE? WHEN? HOW?

And:

THE FACTS - THE COLOR - THE FACTS!

These continued around the perimeter of the room, so that every direction a reporter looked, the World credo was shouted at him.
