December 9, 1793 - Noah Webster's Daily Newspaper

Way before the dictionary that bears his name became a household staple, Noah Webster published the first daily newspaper in New York City called the American Minerva on December 9, 1793. Webster was a solid Christian educator and believer in the Bible with quotes like this: “All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.”
