Newsboys' strike of 1899

The **newsboys' strike of 1899** was a U.S. youth-led campaign to facilitate change in the way that Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst's newspapers compensated their force of newsboys or newspaper hawkers. The strikers demonstrated across New York City for several days, effectively stopping circulation of the two papers, along with the news distribution for many New England cities. The strike lasted two weeks, causing Pulitzer's *New York World* to decrease its circulation from 360,000 papers sold per day to 125,000. Although the price of papers was not lowered, the strike was successful in forcing the *World* and *Journal* to offer full buybacks to their sellers, thus increasing the amount of money that newsies received for their work. This event inspired the 1992 movie musical, *Newsies,* which was adapted for Broadway in 2012.
