New York Enquirer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The New York Enquirer has been the name of two unrelated newspapers published in New York City.

[edit] 19th century New York Enquirer

The New York Enquirer was founded in 1826 by Mordecai Noah. According to the masthead, it was "published every Tuesday and Friday at No. 1 Williams St., New York, New York". Noah was a strong supporter of Andrew Jackson and published often highly slanted pro-Jackson news reporting, along with international news.

By the early-1830s it had merged with a Whig paper to become the Morning Courier & New York Enquirer.

[edit] 20th century New York Enquirer

Founded in 1926, the second New York Enquirer was renamed The National Enquirer in 1954 and converted to a tabloid format; see that article for more information.
