NEWSPAPER GUIDE FOR THE GRAND CANYON AND LOWER COLORADO RIVER REGIONS NOTES FOR PART 31 NEWSPAPERS are not generally included in THE GRAND CANON. There are, however, some exceptions, notably The New York Times and the Deseret News (Salt Lake City) (see below). In other instances a newspaper is cited in THE GRAND CANON if an article had been reprinted later in another periodical; the original source is acknowledged in a comment at the end of the citation. Special-interest newspaper-format periodicals are included in the bibliography; for example, High Country News, a mostly biweekly serial. Some weekly newspapers, and weekly magazines included with newspapers, are also cited herein; for example, Computerworld, and Flare from the Arizona Daily Sun (Flagstaff). Part 31 comprises a listing of regional newspapers that some readers may wish to use to begin locating local (or sometimes online) sources. Regarding fuller coverage from selected newspapers, citations from which appear in other parts of this bibliography The New York Times. From The New York Times as many pertinent articles as possible have been cited in so far as they relate to the Grand Canyon and lower Colorado River. This newspaper was published from the beginning of modern excursions into the region, in the mid-19th century. It is as well a well-recognized periodical that is widely available online and through microform products. The Times is relegated to its own section of this bibliography; one section is arranged chronologically (Part 3, Section 1). At the time that this bibliography was started, the only way to access back issues of the Times was through microfilm, which for this title was widely available and thus a prudent addition to this bibliography. Now the Times is wholly accessible online,216 although for recent years not always in facsimile presentation or sometimes omitting appropriate pagination. The online version, though, is completely searchable. The Deseret News. A purposeful comparison has been made in this bibliography to include citations from a western regional analog to The New York Times, this being the Deseret News (Salt Lake City), the oldest continuously published (now daily) newspaper in Utah. Citations from the Deseret News are included as appropriate within the subject-specific sections of the bibliography. The Deseret News’s earliest years (1850–1910) are now freely available online217, and a conscious decision was thus made for THE GRAND CANON to include pertinent citations from these years because, like the Times, they cover the period beginning with 216 http://www.nytimes.com. 217 Utah Digital Newspapers, http://digitalnewspapers.org. 10910 1535 The Grand Canon 2018 PART 31. NEWSPAPER GUIDE FOR THE GRAND CANYON AND LOWER COLORADO RIVER REGIONS modern explorations of the region. Deseret News (originally a weekly, becoming semiweekly in 1865 and daily in 1899—although earlier it was concurrently a weekly and semiweekly as The Deseret News and daily as The Deseret Evening News) is cited herein as Deseret News; most citations are from the weekly edition, the one posted online. Its citations to 1910 include many articles and notes that relate to the geographical coverage area of THE GRAND CANON. They are important to include herein because they have a Mormon perspective of concerted efforts of church and individuals to colonize and economically develop the resources of the region beyond the Utahn border, from Lees Ferry to deep along the lower Colorado River corridor. And as well, the selection of news items reflects Deseret News’s editorial slants on activities in neighbor states and the lower Colorado River corridor. Most telling is the news- paper’s own Prospectus, which intended the periodicals to be documents of record from the start: “A paper that is worth printing, is worth preserving; if worth preserving, it is worth binding; for this purpose we issue in pamphlet form; and if every subscriber shall preserve each copy of the ‘News,’ and bind it at the close of the volume, their children’s children may read the doings of their fathers, which otherwise might have been forgotten; ages to come.”218 Today, the complementary concept of binding is the searchable digitized page; for the next age. Since most of the citations from the Deseret News have been taken from the online postings of this newspaper, take note that the pagination reflects the pages as enumerated in each issue. This is because the online postings do not usually preserve oiginal pagination. In actuality, the newspaper is paginated, at least in its early years, consecutively through entire volumes. To accommodate this lack of online pagination, notations have been inserted into the citations in this bibliography noting “issue pagination”, which begins with page 1 of each issue as denoted in the online postings. Users who refer to an issue will have to count forward from the first page to reach the item in question. 218 Prospectus. Deseret News.

NEWSPAPER GUIDE FOR THE GRAND CANYON AND LOWER COLORADO RIVER REGIONS Introduction Newspapers are a valuable resource to the historian. Long-running papers of any town or city are important historical documents, but researchers who thrill in finding the obscure and unusual anecdote, small-town and out-of-print newspapers are a mine of information. This list of newspapers is not exhaustive, nor is there any guarantee that all of them have had coverage of events or people of the immediate Grand Canyon or lower Colorado River regions. But within these regions it is likely that newspapers published there have had a higher frequency of canyon- and river-related items than the newspapers of more distant places. The earliest newspaper of the greater Grand Canyon region appears to have been the semiweekly Arizona Gazette (Prescott), beginning in 1866, although the Arizona Daily Miner (Prescott) began at about the same time. Several other newspapers started up in the late 1860s, and a majority of papers began in the 1870s-1890s; most, however, were short-lived. In Yuma, the earliest newspaper was apparently the weekly Arizona Free Press, beginning in 1871. Increasingly more early newspapers from across the country are being made available online, although practically most have not been digitized.
