* MaliciousSlander: Mrs. Oleson's column in spades. Her articles contain rumours and gossip which suggest the worst of their subjects, such as suggesting that a newlywed couple's premature couple was conceived before the wedding, that the Garveys are going bankrupt, costing them a loan when the banker read the column, and later, in retaliation to Albert and Laura messing with an article against Mrs. Oleson, she insinuates that Albert was actually sired by Charles in an extramarital affair.

* [[Invoked]]TechnologyMarchesOn: In a way, this episode was a look at small-town newspapering in the 1870s, when (often) editorialized human interest stories and "chicken dinner" features -- sometimes without veracity -- were common, as opposed to more substantial reporting and fact-checking seen in more recent decades. Many newspapers of the time were short-lived (as was this episode's ''The Pen and the Plow'') for various reasons, not always because the public rejected the newspaper as inherently inaccurate.
