Paperboy
Paperboy (and very rarely: Papergirl) was an iconic role of youngsters, often their first job, in Western nations during the heyday of printed newspapers. A paperboy's task was to distribute printed newspapers to homes or offices of subscribers on a regular route, usually by bicycle or automobile. This has often been a before-school or after-school job for adolescents. (Contrast with the newsboy or newspaper hawker, now extremely rare in Western nations, who would sell newspapers to passersby on the street, often with very vocal promotion. They were common when multiple daily papers in every city --as many as 50 in New York City --competed for sales each day.) Other phases of the newspaper distribution networks that developed--such as the siting of printing plants and the management of truck distribution networks--were typically not seen and not romanticized.
