Chicago's American, an afternoon newspaper in Chicago, Illinois was the last flowering of the aggressive journalistic tradition depicted in the play and movie The Front Page. The American was published by the Chicago Tribune from 1958 through 1969 and then finally, as Chicago Today, from 1969 until it was closed in 1974.The American was the product of the merger or acquisition of 14 predecessor newspapers and inherited the tradition, and the files, of all of them.
As an afternoon paper, the American was dependent on street sales rather than subscriptions, and it was breaking news that brought street sales. The American was noted for its aggressive reporting. Its editors, writers, and photographers went hard after every story. It was not uncommon for them to pretend to be police officers or public officials to get a story, although many of them could simply talk their way into any place.
These techniques were usually used legitimately. Reporters would demand information as if they had a right to it and would often get it. With its connections with news sources and its bravado, the small staff of the American regularly scooped its larger and more respectable afternoon competition, the Chicago Daily News.
Frank Lloyd Wright announced plans to build a mile-high building in Chicago. The American stole the drawings and printed them.
The tradition was exemplified by the American's longtime night city editor, Harry Romanoff, who could create news stories almost at will with only a telephone. Since the afternoon paper was put together the previous evening, the night city editor was the key news editor.
One night floods threatened southern Illinois, and, even worse, the American did not have a big story for the front page. Romanoff called fire departments and police stations throughout the region, posing as "Captain Parmenter of the state police" (a nonexistent individual) urging them to take action. One fire department, bemused by the call, asked what they should do. "Ring those fire bells! Call out the people!"
Romanoff then turned to his rewrite man to dictate the lead story:
It never did flood, but the American had its banner headline. These headlines were necessary for sales of the early editions. Later in the day, breaking news would generally replace them or reduce their importance. Of course, many stories developed in this way were genuine scoops that would be expanded.
- Fire bells rang over southern Illinois as police and fire departments called out the people to warn them of impending floods.
The American gave the same attention to smaller stories as to large ones. It was always first with police news. One notable headline:
In addition to Romanoff, notable American staff members included:
- Mother of 14 kids kills father of 9 in police station
In the end, TV news brought an end to most afternoon papers, but up until the 1970s, Chicago had a competitive journalistic scene unmatched by most other American cities, five daily papers and four wire services in competition, and none more competitive than Chicago's American.
- Wendell Smith, the African American sports reporter requested by Branch Rickey to travel with Jackie Robinson when he was breaking into baseball.
- Brent Musberger, night sports editor of the American who became a prominent television sports personality.
- Buddy McHugh, thinly disguised as "McCue" in The Front Page
- George Murray, who was once sent to Central America and told to "find a lost city", which he promptly did.
- Jack Mabley, investigative columnist, whose most famous article measured water pressure during commercial breaks on national tv broadcasts and determined that viewers were using the toilet during the breaks.
- Michael McGovern, New York Daily News investigative reporter. McGovern once went door-to-door through Evanston, Illinois asking each woman in one neighborhood if she was the illegitimate daughter of Warren G. Harding.

This article refers to the BBC Today programme, for the NBC Today Show see The Today Show Today, commonly referred to as The Today programme in order to avoid ambiguity, is BBC Radio 4's long-running early morning news and current affairs programme, which is now broadcast from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. from Monday to Friday and from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Saturdays. It consists of regular news bulletins, serious political interviews and in-depth reports.Today was launched on the BBC's Home Service on October 28, 1957 as a programme of "topical talks" to give listeners a morning alternative to light music. It was initially broadcast as two 20-minute editions slotted in around the exisiting news bulletins and religious items. In 1963 it became part of the BBC's Current Affairs department, and it started to become more news-oriented. The two editions also became longer, and by the end of the 1960s it had become a single two-hour long programme that enveloped the news bulletins and the religious talk that had become "Thought For The Day". It was cut back to two parts in 1976-1978, but was swiftly returned to its former position.
Jack de Manio became its principal presenter in 1958. He became notorious for on-air gaffes. In 1970 the programme format was changed so that there were two presenters each day. De Manio left in 1971, and by 1975 the team of John Timpson and Brian Redhead was well established. This arrangement lasted until Timpson's retirement in 1986, when John Humphrys and Sue MacGregor joined the rotating list of presenters. After Redhead's untimely death in late 1993, James Naughtie became a member of the team. Sarah Montague replaced MacGregor in 2002.
The show reached a peak in terms of influence in the 1980s, when prime minister Margaret Thatcher was a noted listener. Ministers thus became keen to go on the programme and be heard by their leader; but the tough, confrontational interviewing style they encountered led to accusations that the BBC was biased. Criticism was particularly directed against Redhead, who was widely seen as being on the left. The style of the male interviewers was analysed and contrasted with that of McGregor, who was alleged to be giving subjects an easier time. The "big 8.10" interview that follows the 8 o'clock news remains an important institution of British politics to this day.
Today regularly holds an end-of-year poll. For many years this took the form of write-in votes for the Man and Woman of the Year. This was stopped after an episode of organised vote-rigging in 1990, but was soon revived as a telephone vote for a single Personality of the Year. A further episode of vote-rigging, in favour of Tony Blair in 1996, forced the programme makers to consider more innovative polling questions.
Since 1970 the programme has featured Thought for the Day, in which a speaker reflects on topical issues from a theological viewpoint. Notable contributors to the slot include Rabbi Lionel Blue and Richard Harries, the Bishop of Oxford. Over the years the slot has featured an increasing number of speakers from religions other than Christianity, though Christian speakers remain in a substantial majority.
Today found itself in the midst of controversy again in 2002, when its editor Rod Liddle wrote a column in The Guardian that was extremely critical of the Countryside Alliance. He eventually resigned from his post on Today.
Journalist and historian Peter Hennessy has asserted in two books that one of the tests that the commander of a British nuclear-missile submarine must use to determine whether the UK has been the target of a nuclear attack (in which case he has sealed orders which may authorise him to fire his nuclear missiles in retalliation) is to listen for the presence of Today on Radio 4's frequencies. If a certain number of days pass without the programme being broadcast, that is to be taken as evidence that the envelope may be opened. The true conditions are of course secret, and Hennessy has never revealed his sources for this story, leading Paul Donovan, author of a book about Today, to express some scepticism about it.

The Today Show (more commonly called Today) is a long-running morning news show airing on the NBC television network in the United States.Today was the first of its genre when it first signed on in 1955 with host Dave Garroway. The show successfully blends national news headlines, in-depth interviews with newsmakers, lifestyle features, other light news and gimmicks, and local news updates. It has spawned several other shows of a similar type, including ABC's Good Morning America and CBS's The Early Show.
Today was the brainchild of Pat Weaver, the president of NBC between 1953 and 1955.
The show is currently hosted by Katie Couric and Matt Lauer. Al Roker does weather updates and Ann Curry reads news headlines.
Previous hosts have included Diane Sawyer, Bryant Gumbel, Jane Pauley and Deborah Norville. Popular former weathercaster Willard Scott still appears on the show daily doing 100th birthday announcements he became famous for in the 1980s.
