 s.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/Detail.aspx?si=9355\n\nMr. Diatz\, will perfor
 m a first-person portrayal of Civil War-era reporter W.S\, Halliday\, a co
 rrespondent for the famous New York Herald newspaper.  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
