The Newcastle Courant was founded in 1711 by John White, son of the King’s Printer for the Northern Counties, and was the first successful newspaper established north of the Trent, soon becoming a weekly publication. White (1689-1769) was one of the most prolific eighteenth century provincial printers, whose output included chapbooks, broadsides and volumes of local history as well as periodicals. By 1858 the newspaper had been purchased by John Blackwell, who also founded the thrice-weekly “Newcastle Messenger”.
