Publications disestablished in 1897

The Woman's Era was the first national newspaper published by and for black women in the United States. Originally established as a monthly Boston newspaper, it became distributed nationally in 1894 and ran until January 1897, with Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin as editor and publisher. The Woman's Era played an important role in the national African American women's club movement.

The Frostburg News was a weekly paper that was published from March 19, 1897, to April 1897 in Frostburg, Maryland, U.S. It was published by Henry Francis Cook, who would go on to publish The Frostburg Forum with John B. Williams later that same year; Cook also published The Frostburg Gleaner from 1899 to 1901. In the News' inaugural issue, Cook promised "never to imitate" the "mud-slinging" tendencies of other publications, telling readers that his paper was "the organ of no political party, creed or sect." Though Cook announced his acquisition of a new printing press in April 1897 that would allow expansion of the paper to an eight-column format (which was "two columns more than [its] local contemporary"), the newspaper would only publish a few more issues before ceasing altogether. This was presumably due to Cook joining forces with Williams to begin publishing the Forum.

The National Observer was a British newspaper published from 1888 to 1897. It began as the Scots Observer and was renamed when it moved from Edinburgh to London in 1889. It was considered "conservative in its political outlook" and "liberal in its literary taste".

Mülhauser Volksblatt was a daily newspaper published from Mulhouse, Alsace-Lorraine, Germany. It was the first Catholic daily newspaper in Mulhouse. Mülhauser Volksblatt was founded in 1892 by Henri Cetty, and rapidly became popular.
