1793 | The American Minerva. New York Federalist daily edited by Noah Webster to curb the propagation of French thought in the United States. The paper's name was changed to the Commercial Advertiser in 1797, and Webster remained editor until 1803. His successors included Robert Charles Sands, Turlow Weed, Parke Godwin, and William Leete Stone. The Commercial Advertiser merged with the New York Globe in 1904 and was called the Globe and Commercial Advertiser until the New York Sun purchased it in 1923. |
