The Halifax Gazette was Canada's first newspaper, established on March 23, 1752, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It was published weekly by John Bushell, who had been carrying out a project that had been initiated by his partner Bartholomew Green, Jr. The newspaper had been entirely dependent on the government for funding. After Bushell, Anthony Henry (Printer) became the publisher. The Massachusetts Historical Society in Boston owns the only remaining copy of the first edition of Halifax Gazette.
