  • Although it appeared only once, on September 25, 1690, Publick Occurrences Both Forreign and Domestick is considered the first newspaper published in the British American colonies that would later become the United States. Publick Occurrences, published in Boston, consisted of three pages of information (approximately 7½ inches by 11½ inches in size) followed by a blank fourth, which the publication's prospectus intimated was left blank so that people who had more news or more accurate information could add it to the paper and then pass it on.
