In this episode, we dive into the fascinating story of *Publick Occurrences Both Forreign and Domestick*, the first newspaper published in colonial America on September 25, 1690. Join us as we explore the cultural climate of the late 17th century, the public’s reaction to this groundbreaking publication, and the swift government censorship that shut it down after just one issue. We also discuss the lasting legacy of *Publick Occurrences* and how it paved the way for the press freedoms that are now a cornerstone of American democracy.
