Joshua L. Foster

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joshua Lane Foster (b. 1824 Canterbury, NH - Death unknown ) was the founder of the newspaper Foster's Daily Democrat in 1872. Originally he founded the newspaper as a pro-slavery alternate view to the anti-slavery North-East. The Democrat is still run today by the Foster family. It is one of the few independent newspapers left.[1] Foster said this in the first issue of Fosters:

"We shall devote these columns mainly to the material and vital interests of Dover and vicinity. Whatever may tend to benefit this people and enhance their prosperity, will receive our warm and enthusiastic support."[2]
