A newsstand was located on a sidewalk in the Dixon Hill holo-program The Big Good-Bye, set in San Francisco in 1941. This newsstand sold copies of the San Francisco Sun, the San Francisco Herald and San Francisco Globe.

In 2374, Captain Benjamin Sisko experienced a vision of 1950s New York City from the Bajoran Prophets in which there was a newsstand situated on a sidewalk. Experiencing the role of science fiction author Benny Russell, Sisko purchased a copy magazine from the vendor. Later during his vision, Sisko tried to sell a story to editor Douglas Pabst but Pabst rejected it due to the hero being a negro captain. Pabst stated that neither his publisher, the national distributors or the wholesalers would put the story on the newsstand for fear it would cause a race riot. ()
