"Our duty is to keep the universe thoroughly posted concerning murders and street fights, and balls, and theatres, and pack trains, and churches, and lectures, and schoolhouses, and city military affairs, and highway robberies, and Bible societies, and haywagons, and a thousand other things which it is the province of local reporters to keep track of and magnify into undue importance for the instruction of the readers of this great daily newspaper."
--Mark Twain
