I think it goes with suburbia and sprawl. Newspapers and magazines were delivered to homes by "paper boys" or the mailman via monthly subscription. In this culture, the morning edition papers were the bulk of the news, followed closely by evening television. There is no village street with newstands nor any other vending. Many going to work were driving their car from their suburban house to a factory with a giant parking lot. Even the suburban professionals who would commute into the city by train were likely to receive their paper at home and read it there with their morning coffee or carry it with them to the train station to mostly read before they even arrived in the city.
