I am fortunate enough to involve the Library of Congress Chronicling America. As soon as I started searching the databases, I noticed that the headlines of newspapers in different regions can be the same!! I work on the "Panic of 1907" topic and I found that some newspapers' headlines in New York Tribute can be found in mid-western newspapers! - exaactly the same. I am wondering whether those news were "flying" via telegraphs.
Another discovery is that even the Qing Dynasty Chinese Emperor's news can be found in American newspapers between 1860 to 1922!!
