History
[
edit
]
On November 9, 1793,
William Maxwell
published the first edition of
The Centinel of the Northwest Territory,
a weekly newspaper in
Cincinnati
. It was the first paper published in the
Northwest Territory
.
[3]
Subscription was "250 cents" per annum, and 7 cents a single copy. The motto of the
Centinel
: "Open to all Parties -- but influenced by none," expressed the publisher's aims: to afford an isolated community a medium to make known its varied wants and to record local happenings, as well as those of the outside world.
[3]
The newspaper was published weekly until June 1796 when it was sold to Edmund Freeman who merged it with
Freeman's Journal
. Around 1800, the paper moved to
Chillicothe, Ohio
, when the government of the
Northwest Territory
relocated to that city
[3]
The paper eventually assumed the name
The Chillicothe Gazette
. Gannett sold the paper in the 1990s to
Community Newspaper Holdings
, who in turn sold to
The Thomson Corporation
. When Thomson exited the newspaper business in the late 1990s, Gannett bought it back.
