Which among the following newspaper was first ridiculed as the 'Penny Press'?
The New York Sun
Benjamin H. Day launched The New York Sun on 3 September 1833 and priced it at one cent, against the six-cent price of the elite mercantile dailies of the day. Rivals derisively called it the 'Penny Press', but the cheap price, human-interest reporting and reliance on advertising revenue drew a mass readership and started the Penny Press revolution in the United States.
The Washington Post (1877), Wall Street Journal (1889) and The New Yorker magazine (1925) all appeared much later and were never associated with the original Penny Press label.
Hence, the correct answer is The New York Sun.
