The "Gazette of the United States" was a newspaper founded in 1789 by John Fenno. It served as one of the first official publications in the early United States, providing news and information about government activities, political events, and public affairs. The newspaper played a significant role in shaping public opinion during the formative years of the nation. Published in Philadelphia, the "Gazette" was closely associated with the Federalist Party and often supported its policies. It aimed to inform citizens about the workings of the new government and foster a sense of national identity. The publication ceased in 1818, but its impact on American journalism remains notable.
