newspaper boy
Morning delivery youth
A newspaper boy is a young person, traditionally male, who delivers newspapers to homes on a route, typically in the early morning.
The job was once a common first employment for adolescents: He got up at five every day for his newspaper boy route.
Also called a paperboy.
The role has largely disappeared as print newspaper subscriptions have declined.
