text:
Horatio Davis Sheppard was an American physician who in 1833 founded the first penny press newspaper in the United States, the New York Morning Post. In 1830, Sheppard was a medical student with no real experience in publishing, but he had witnessed the populace of New York City willing to buy anything that cost a penny. For over a year he approached printing offices to propose that a paper could be successfully sold at a penny price, but had no luck convincing anyone until meeting Francis Story
