问题     The industrial revolution dramatically affected newspapers. Both the numbers of papers and their paid circulations【B1】______rise. In the 1850s, powerful, giant presses appeared, able to print 10,000 complete papers per hour. At this time the first "【B2】______" weekly newspapers emerged: they featured extensive illustrations of events in the news for the first time.
    During the Civil War, the【B3】______demand for timely, accurate news reporting【B4】______ American journalism into a dynamic, hard hitting force in national life. Reporters became the darlings of the public and the idols of【B5】______everywhere. Many accounts of battles 【B6】______by these adventurers stand today as the【B7】______histories of their subjects.
    Newspaper growth continued in the postwar years. By the 1890s, the first circulation figures of 1,000,000 copies per issue were【B8】______. At this period, the features of the modern newspaper appeared, bold "banner" headlines, extensive use of illustrations, "funny pages", plus expanded【B9】______of organised sporting events.
    The rise of "yellow journalism" also marks this era. This is also the age of media consolidation, as many independent newspapers were【B10】______powerful "chains", with regrettable consequences for a once fearless and incorruptible press, many were reduced to vehicles for the distribution of the particular views of their owners, and so remained, without competing papers to challenge their viewpoints. By the 1910s, all the essential features of the recognisably modern newspaper had emerged. In our time, radio and television have gradually replaced newspapers as the nation’s primary information sources, so it may be difficult initially to appreciate the role that newspapers have played in our history.
【B6】
