The Constitutional Courant
''The Constitutional Courant'' was a single issue colonial American-newspaper published in response to the Stamp Act of 1765. It was printed by William Goddard under an assumed name of ''Andrew Marvel''. The newspaper vociferously attacked the Stamp Act in strong language, which caught the attention of colonial printers and royal colonial officials alike. The ''Courant'' and its general message proved popular and the newspaper was soon reprinted in other major towns and distributed elsewhere among the colonies. The ''Courant'', which had a publication date of September 21, 1765, prominently reprinted Benjamin Franklin's 1754 '' Join or Die'' editorial cartoon. History In 1765 the British Parliament passed the Stamp Act to help pay the debts it incurred during the Seven Years' War, which imposed a tax on an assortment of paper documents, including newspapers, contracts, deeds, wills and other such legal documents.

History Of American Newspapers
The history of American newspapers begins in the early 18th century with the publication of the first colonial newspapers. American newspapers began as modest affairs—a sideline for printers. They became a political force in the campaign for American independence. Following independence the first amendment to U.S. Constitution guaranteed freedom of the press. The U.S. Postal Service Act of 1792 provided substantial subsidies: Newspapers were delivered up to 100 miles for a penny and beyond for 1.5 cents, when first class postage ranged from six cents to a quarter. The American press grew rapidly during the First Party System (1790s-1810s) when both parties sponsored papers to reach their loyal partisans. From the 1830s onward, the Penny press began to play a major role in American journalism. Technological advancements such as the telegraph and faster printing presses in the 1840s also helped to expand the press of the nation as it experienced rapid economic and demogra ...

Early American Publishers And Printers
Early American publishers and printers played a central role in the social, religious, political and commercial developments in colonial America, before, during, and after the American Revolution. Printing and publishing in the 17th and 18th centuries among the Thirteen Colonies of British North America first emerged as a result of religious enthusiasm and over the scarcity and subsequent great demand for bibles and other religious literature. By the mid-18th century, printing took on new proportions with the newspapers that began to emerge, most notably in Boston. When the British Crown began imposing new taxes, many of these newspapers became highly critical and outspoken about the British colonial government, which was widely considered unfair among the colonists. Schlesinger, 1935, p. 63. In the early years of colonial settlement communications between the various colonies, which were often hundreds of miles apart, usually consisted of dispatches, hand-written one at a ti ...
