Newspaper

The Boston News-Letter was America's first continuously-published newspaper. First distributed in April 1704, the weekly News-Letter published news and events from England, as well local listings of ship arrivals, deaths, sermons, political appointments, fires, and accidents. The last issue of the News-Letter appeared in February 1776 after three generations of family ownership.
