The Boston Daily Advertiser
(Boston, Massachusetts, USA)
(1813-1929)
The Advertiser was established in early March 1813. It was published by William W. Clapp and edited by Horatio Biglow; in March 1814, it was purchased by journalist Nathan Hale. Hale was its chief editor until his death in 1863. Under Hale's supervision, the paper was first Federalist in politics, then Whig, and finally Republican, and it became very influential. It opposed the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854, and was the first paper to recommend the free colonization of Kansas. The principle of editorial responsibility, as distinct from that of individual contributions, was established in its columns. From 1841 until 1853, Hale's son Nathan Hale Jr., was associated with his father in the editorial management of the paper. (WP)
