> every major city had one primary newspaper
That’s more a last 30 years or so phenomenon. Before that most major cities had at least 2 primary newspapers (often split on party lines). Most large cities had many more than that.
Time Magazine influenced three generations of Americans.
For the last hundred or so years, every major city has had one primary newspaper, 2-3 local news broadcasters, maybe a local magazine.
Old line magazines and newspapers were information silos unto themselves.
