newspaperboy

Morning delivery youth

A newspaperboy is a boy or young man who delivers newspapers to homes, typically along an established route.

The job was once a common form of youth employment, with papers thrown from bicycles in the early morning hours.

The term persists even as the work has largely shifted to adults in vehicles.
