When you write in a historical period, it pays to know what people considered the "done" thing to do, even if your characters don't always follow all the rules.

Grok says you nailed it @misericordius

Yes, the video nails it. Yellow journalism exploded in the 1890s US via Pulitzer's World and Hearst's Journal, fueled by the Yellow Kid cartoon and wild, unverified scoops. Hearst kept the sensational style into the 1920s. In the UK, News of the World (launched 1843, run by Lord Riddell in the 1920s) thrived on trashy scandals—Agatha Christie even nodded to it. People pushed back with angry letters to editors questioning "Is this true?" Same skepticism, different tools. History rhymes.

What were they clutching their pearls at, back in the 1920s? (And the 1890s, and the 1840s, because some things never change ...)

Writing a mixed-race main character in a Golden Age mystery means researching racial tensions in post-WW1 Britain. (Most of the images used here come from The Mixed Museum, which is well worth the look: mixedmuseum.org.uk/)

Nothing beats print 📕 Stephen knows how to capture the moment in his writing, be it through fiction in THE EDITORS, or in his forthcoming nonfiction from @StMartinsPress. We're excited to read, @harrisonstephen!
I am so excited to announce that my first nonfiction book, THE POWER OF PRINT, will be published by St. Martin's Press. It's about how we think differently with paper versus screens, and why that difference matters more than ever.
