First Newspaper

The first American newspaper was published Sept. 25, 1690. It was four pages long and measured 6” x 9”. Three of the four pages were used for news. One page was left blank for the reader to do with it whatever they pleased. Most people wrote false statements about the king on the blank pages and passed it around the king’s courtyard. The gossip in the newspaper made the king furious. He knew that other people would read the bogus stories about him, so after only four days of being published, he suppressed the issue. No more newspapers were published until fourteen years later.
