Mr. Diatz will disc uss Halliday's career writing about important events and people\, as newsp apers in both the North and South became a chief source of information and propaganda before\, during and after the conflict. At the time\, the New York Herald was considered one of the most important and influential newsp apers in the nation\, exceeding all other papers in profit and popularity. \nIn 1861\, the New York Herald had a circulation of 84\,000 copies and referred to itself as "the most largely circulated journal in the world. " The news venue was under the direction of publisher James Gordon Bennet t\, Sr.\, who once offered the opinion that the purpose of a newspaper "is not to instruct but to startle." Many articles included in the Herald arc hives certainly met that expectation. New York's famous Herald Square\, h ome of the flagship Macy's department store at Broadway and 34th Street\, is named for the site of the newspaper's offices. That location is within eight blocks of Times Square\, the location of the paper's arch rival\, T he New York Times.\nThe lecture will be held on Wednesday\, November 12\, 2014\, at 7:30 p.m. at the historic Lloyd House\, 220 North Washington Str eet\, Alexandria\, Virginia. Admission is free\, and seating is on a firs t-come\, first-served basis. There will be a short period for questions a nd light refreshments afterward.\nThis program will be the tenth lecture p resentation sponsored by the Historic Alexandria Resources Commission\, Al exandria American Civil War Sesquicentennial Sub-committee\, and the Offic e of Historic Alexandria on the American Civil War.
