The 1838 Boston Almanac notes that the first newspaper in America was published on April 25th, 1704. While this is not technically accurate--the Boston News-Letter was the first regularly published newspaper--it is still worthy of noting here, given that I've appropriated the name for part of the title of my blog. For a brief history read here and here.
I will be posting a brief analysis of early Boston newspapers later this week.
