Reporters from the News Tribune, identified on this 1899 glass plate as the Detroit Tribune, are the subject of this view of a working newspaper office in Detroit. The Detroit Publishing Company made the 8 by 10 inch negative, and its photographers documented American cities and businesses around the turn of the century. Newspapers of that era depended on reporters to gather news and on the office as the place where stories were written, edited and set for print. The plate is a useful record of that daily routine, so the people and their surroundings are worth studying for clues about dress, equipment and the pace of the work.
