A '''paperboy''' is someone{{snd}}often an older [[child]] or [[adolescent]]{{snd}}who distributes printed [[newspaper]]s to homes or offices on a regular route, usually by [[bicycle]] or [[automobile]]. In Western nations during the heyday of print newspapers during the early 20th century, this was often a young person's first job, perhaps undertaken before or after school. This contrasts 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{{snd}}as many as 50 in [[New York City]] alone{{snd}}competed.
