Arson in the Arizona Republican, 1900 & 1920

The Arizona Republican newspaper tends to print issues that are eight to nine pages in length on average. Articles, for the most part, run about four to ten lines in length unless it is something extremely important or a reprinting of something. There are not a lot of super large and long headlines, the headlines tend to be around the same size as the article itself, if a little larger and in all capital letters. Outside of the advertisements, which can be found on every page, there are virtually no illustrations to be found.

The news that is reported on tends to be of the local and state variety, with some national news thrown in. International news is reported on slightly, depending on what is going on in the world that year. For example, 1900 had the Boxer Rebellion in China, so there were quite a few articles about that, the United States's and Russia's involvement, and things pertaining to that situation. 1920 saw tensions between the Irish and British governments hit a peak, leading to articles being written about the situation, often seeming to be biased towards the British government's side.

The newspaper itself comes off as a mix between information and sensational. Most articles are truthful and factual, but some articles, particularly the ones about out of state or out of country information, tend to be more sensationalized, with more extravagant wording. The specific articles tend to walk the line between objective and sensational, leaning to either side depending on the subject of the articles.
