Senator Estes Kefauver of Tennessee and James Langley (left), publisher of the Monitor-Patriot in Concord, New Hampshire, look at election returns on an Associated Press teletype in the newspaper’s office March 11, 1952. The Associated Press was formed in 1849 when groups of newspapers banded together to support a new service to supply news via telegraph. The journalist’s inverted pyramid – with the main point of the story in the first graph and increasing levels of detail as the story progressed – was developed by these writers to ensure the main point of the story was received even if telegraph service was interrupted.
