Colonies formed Committees of Correspondence to keep each other informed of the resistance efforts throughout the colonies. Newspapers reprinted the tales of the protests and actions against Britain. This created American propaganda to obtain fair treatment from Britain. The greatest time that the newspapers came together to inform the colonies of the Boston Massacre. Being the biggest piece of propaganda at the time, the massacre lead to more colonists believing that they could be a part of a bigger political community and was one of the turning points in American History that lead to the independence of the country from British rule.

Before newspapers, handwritten news sheets were used (Stephens, n.d.). After the creation of the printing press, the news sheets were then printed on papers which was later called newspapers (Stephens, n.d.). The accuracy and efficiency of the printing press enabled more publishers to use the printing press (Arthur, 2004). Newspapers could then be more widely produced. The ability of mass production of the printing press gave ease in spreading information rapidly to different places (Jeffrey, 2001). This led to a wider use of newspapers. This ability also allowed the newspaper to not easily be corrupted or destroyed since there were so many copies available (Jeffery, 2001). The creation of newspapers allowed the public to gain more knowledge about what was happening in other parts of the world. It also allowed citizens to voice their disagreements with the government.

Newspapers played a critical role after the American Revolution. Journalists criticized the Articles of Confederation and showed how worthless the American dollar was. Even though the Freedom of the Press was issued in the constitution, it was soon shut down with the implement of Sedition Act of 1798. Restrictions on the press were put in place. It was illegal, “to write, print, utter or publish, or cause it to be done, or assist in it, any false, scandalous, and malicious writing against the government of the United States (constitution.org). Many people disliked it and the Sedition Act was pronounced unconstitutional in 1832. This was the beginning of the “Fourth Estate” which means the press watching over the government like a watchdog.
In 1760, The Boston News-Letter was the first newspaper to be continuously published in the United States. A 250-year legacy of printed news could not have lasted if it newspapers didn't not have it uses. Aside from the entertainment value, newspapers exist for the main purpose of bringing news of international, national, and local news to the doorsteps of the people.
