Episode Details

In this episode, we explore the first newspapers in the American colonies. We'll look at the first lawsuit for libel, and discuss the beginnings of the free press in America.

Special Thanks to "A History of the American People" by Paul Johnson for providing most of the content for this episode. Please check out his book if you want to learn US history. It is the best book I have found on the topic. Also thanks to Wikipedia and Google Gemini for filling in additional details for the story.
