The history of the newspaper arts and culture section
Addison Fulton and Dannely Verduzco | July 26The arts and culture section is a mainstay of many established newspapers. The Daily Lobo is no exception. The New York Times, the Washington Post and Fox News all have arts and culture desks that go by various names. People have been discussing and commenting on culture for as long as it has existed, but the prominence of the culture desk has not always been so universal. There is a delay between the advent of journalism and when journalistic publications began to dedicate print space to arts and culture. Journalism began as far back as 3400 B.C.E., when early civilizations used hieroglyphics in clay to transmit news, according to the Science Survey.
