The movement from financial support of the press by political parties to expanded circulation and more emphasis on advertising led to the development of the penny press.

The nickel press and quarterly subscription fees were not a direct result of this shift, and reliance on home delivery and yearly subscription fees were not significant factors in the development of the penny press.
