Abstract:
Lawrence discusses newspaper publishing in North Carolina from the time of the Royal Governors until after the Revolution. The first one, called the GAZETTE, was published in New Bern in 1748, by James Davis. From then on they appeared rapidly in other cities; however, there wasn't a single paper published west of Raleigh until 1812.
