Media News Newspaper Press Stop 1901 January


EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print captures the moment when The Star newspaper in London received the news of Queen Victoria's death on the evening of January 22, 1901. The image shows a group of men huddled around a table in the newspaper's stop press room, intently studying a telegram that has just arrived. Their expressions are a mix of shock and determination as they prepare to set the presses in motion to produce an extra edition of the paper. Queen Victoria, who had reigned for over 63 years, was the longest-serving monarch in British history at the time of her death. Her passing marked the end of the Victorian Era and the beginning of a new chapter in British history. The news of her death spread rapidly, and The Star, like other newspapers, wasted no time in getting the word out to its readers. The stop press process was a crucial part of newspaper production in the early 20th century. It allowed for the quick dissemination of breaking news, making it an essential tool for newspapers looking to stay ahead of the competition. In this case, the news of Queen Victoria's death was undoubtedly a major scoop, and The Star was determined to be the first to share it with its readers. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of newspaper production during a time when the news media played a vital role in shaping public opinion and keeping people informed.
