História da Publicidade desde Antiguidade Clássica até hoje
As Primeiras Agências e a Era do Rádio. Volney Palmer entrou para a história ao abrir, em 1841, a primeira agência de publicidade em Boston.
Pennsylvania Gazette
O talento de Franklin não se limitou apenas à criação de anúncios impactantes. Ele compreendeu a importância da simbiose entre a comunicação empresarial e o jornalismo. Ao fundar o “ <anchor>Pennsylvania Gazette</anchor>“, um dos jornais mais influentes da sua época, Benjamin Franklin introduziu práticas publicitárias que realçavam a importância da confiança e da integridade. Esta visão holística ajudou a moldar o setor, sublinhando o papel crucial da publicidade na construção de relações sólidas entre marcas e consumidores.

Newspaper printed from 1728 until 1800 in the United States

Not to be confused with _The Pennsylvania Gazette_, the [University of Pennsylvania](/wiki/University_of_Pennsylvania "University of Pennsylvania")’s alumni magazine.

[Benjamin Franklin](/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin "Benjamin Franklin") in 1729, who bought and reoriented the publication into a 'news only' newspaperFounded1728; 296 years ago (1728) (as _The Universal Instructor in all Arts and Sciences: and Pennsylvania Gazette_)Political alignmentNon partisanCeased publication1800 (1800)Headquarters[Philadelphia](/wiki/Philadelphia "Philadelphia"), [Pennsylvania](/wiki/Pennsylvania "Pennsylvania"), U.S.

_**The Pennsylvania Gazette**_ was one of the [United States](/wiki/United_States "United States")' most prominent newspapers from 1728 until 1800. In the years leading up to the [American Revolution](/wiki/American_Revolution "American Revolution"), the newspaper served as a voice for colonial opposition to [British](/wiki/Kingdom_of_Great_Britain "Kingdom of Great Britain") colonial rule, especially to the [Stamp Act](/wiki/Stamp_Act_(1765) "Stamp Act (1765)") and the [Townshend Acts](/wiki/Townshend_Acts "Townshend Acts"). The newspaper was headquartered in [Philadelphia](/wiki/Philadelphia "Philadelphia").

## History

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=The_Pennsylvania_Gazette&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: History")\]

### 18th century

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=The_Pennsylvania_Gazette&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: 18th century")\]

[![](//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/Pennsylvania_Gazette_%28May_9%2C_1754%29%2C_page_1.jpg/220px-Pennsylvania_Gazette_%28May_9%2C_1754%29%2C_page_1.jpg)](/wiki/File:Pennsylvania_Gazette_(May_9,_1754),_page_1.jpg) The May 9, 1754 edition of _The Pennsylvania Gazette_[![](//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Benjamin_Franklin_-_Join_or_Die.jpg/220px-Benjamin_Franklin_-_Join_or_Die.jpg)](/wiki/File:Benjamin_Franklin_-_Join_or_Die.jpg) _[Join, or Die](/wiki/Join,_or_Die "Join, or Die")_ political cartoon attributed to [Benjamin Franklin](/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin "Benjamin Franklin"), advocating in support of the American colonies joining the Albany Plan for Union, May 9, 1754

The newspaper was first published in 1728 by [Samuel Keimer](/wiki/Samuel_Keimer "Samuel Keimer") and was the second newspaper to be published in the colonial [Province of Pennsylvania](/wiki/Province_of_Pennsylvania "Province of Pennsylvania") under the name _The Universal Instructor in all Arts and Sciences: and Pennsylvania Gazette_, a reference to Keimer's intention to print out a page of [Ephraim Chambers](/wiki/Ephraim_Chambers "Ephraim Chambers")' _[Cyclopaedia, or Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences](/wiki/Cyclopaedia,_or_Universal_Dictionary_of_Arts_and_Sciences "Cyclopaedia, or Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences")_ in each edition.[\[1\]](#cite_note-loc-1)

On October 2, 1729, [Samuel Keimer](/wiki/Samuel_Keimer "Samuel Keimer"), the owner of _The Gazette_, fell into debt and before fleeing to [Barbados](/wiki/Barbados "Barbados") sold the newspaper to [Benjamin Franklin](/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin "Benjamin Franklin") and his partner [Hugh Meredith](/wiki/Hugh_Meredith "Hugh Meredith"),[\[2\]](#cite_note-2)[\[3\]](#cite_note-bfhs-3)[\[4\]](#cite_note-4)[\[5\]](#cite_note-5) who shortened its name, as well as dropping Keimer's grandiose plan to print out the _Cyclopaedia_.[\[1\]](#cite_note-loc-1) Franklin not only printed the paper but also often contributed pieces to the paper under [aliases](/wiki/Pseudonym "Pseudonym"). His newspaper soon became the most successful in the colonies.[\[3\]](#cite_note-bfhs-3)

On December 28, 1732, Franklin announced in _The Gazette_ that he had just printed and published the first edition of [_The Poor Richard_](/wiki/Poor_Richard%27s_Almanack "Poor Richard's Almanack"), also known as _Poor Richard's Almanack_, by Richard Saunders, Philomath.[\[6\]](#cite_note-6)

On August 6, 1741, Franklin published an editorial following the death of [Andrew Hamilton](/wiki/Andrew_Hamilton_(lawyer) "Andrew Hamilton (lawyer)"), a lawyer and public figure in Philadelphia and friend of Franklin. The editorial praised the man highly and showed Franklin had held the man in high esteem.[\[7\]](#cite_note-7)

On October 19, 1752,[\[8\]](#cite_note-8) Franklin published a third-person account of his pioneering [kite experiment](/wiki/Kite_experiment "Kite experiment") in _The Pennsylvania Gazette_, without mentioning that he himself had performed it.[\[9\]](#cite_note-9)

While the purpose of the publication was primarily for classified ads, merchants and individuals listed notices of employment, lost and found goods and items for sale, it also reprinted foreign news. Most entries involved stories of travel.[\[10\]](#cite_note-10) The gazette also published advertisements for [runaway slaves](/wiki/Fugitive_slaves_in_the_United_States "Fugitive slaves in the United States") and [indentured servants](/wiki/Indentured_servitude "Indentured servitude").[\[11\]](#cite_note-11)

Among other firsts by _The Pennsylvania Gazette_, the newspaper was the first to publish the [political cartoon](/wiki/Editorial_cartoon "Editorial cartoon") _[Join, or Die](/wiki/Join,_or_Die "Join, or Die")_, authored by Franklin.[\[12\]](#cite_note-12) The cartoon resurfaced later in the 18th century as a symbol in support of the [American Revolution](/wiki/American_Revolution "American Revolution").

### 19th century

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=The_Pennsylvania_Gazette&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: 19th century")\]

The paper ceased publication in 1800, ten years after Franklin's death.[\[13\]](#cite_note-13) It is claimed that the publication later reemerged as the _[Saturday Evening Post](/wiki/Saturday_Evening_Post "Saturday Evening Post")_ in 1821.[\[14\]](#cite_note-14)

There are three known copies of the original issue, which are held by the [Historical Society of Pennsylvania](/wiki/Historical_Society_of_Pennsylvania "Historical Society of Pennsylvania") and the [Library Company of Philadelphia](/wiki/Library_Company_of_Philadelphia "Library Company of Philadelphia"), both in Philadelphia, and the [Wisconsin State Historical Society](/wiki/Wisconsin_State_Historical_Society "Wisconsin State Historical Society") at the [University of Wisconsin-Madison](/wiki/University_of_Wisconsin-Madison "University of Wisconsin-Madison") in [Madison, Wisconsin](/wiki/Madison,_Wisconsin "Madison, Wisconsin").[\[1\]](#cite_note-loc-1)

## Other uses

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=The_Pennsylvania_Gazette&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Other uses")\]

_The Pennsylvania Gazette_ moniker is used by an unrelated bi-monthly alumni magazine of the [University of Pennsylvania](/wiki/University_of_Pennsylvania "University of Pennsylvania"), an [Ivy League](/wiki/Ivy_League "Ivy League") university that Franklin founded and served at as one of its first trustees.
