Boston Gazette

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Boston Gazette was an early newspaper printed in the British North American colonies; it began publication December 12, 1719 and appeared weekly. The paper was started as a rival to the Boston News-Letter, the first successful newspaper in the Colonies, which had begun its long run in 1704. In 1741 the Boston Gazette incorporated the New-England Weekly Journal and became the Boston-Gazette, or New-England Weekly Journal. Samuel Adams was a regular contributor in the 1760s and 70s.

The Boston Gazette appeared with varying subtitles: New-England weekly journal, (issue of Oct. 20, 1741), Weekly Journal, from October 27, 1741, Weekly advertiser from January 3, 1753, the Country Journal, from April 12, 1756, Weekly Republican Journal from January 6, 1794
