Newburyport Herald
Newburyport Herald, 1821
The Newburyport Herald (1797–1915) was a newspaper published in Newburyport, Massachusetts in the 19th century. It began in 1797 with the merger of two previous newspapers, William Barrett's Political Gazette and Angier March's Impartial Herald.[1] Employees included William Lloyd Garrison.[2]
Notable for
In 1805, James Akin published his now-infamous 'Infuriated Despondency', a satire of an altercation he had with former employer Edmund Blunt in Newburyport, in which Blunt hurled a skillet at Akin and hit an innocent passerby.
In 1812 the first usage of the word "gerrymander" outside of the immediate Boston area came in the Herald on March 31. The paper continued until 1915.[3]
