The Salem Gazette is an American newspaper serving Salem residents. The weekly newspaper comes out on Fridays. The Salem Gazette, first published on January 5, 1790, used to be known as the Salem Mercury, and briefly The American Eagle. The first issue of the Salem Gazette is technically the only issue of The American Eagle published.[citation needed]
Thomas C. Cushing[1] was the original publisher of the Salem Gazette, however he relinquished the publication to William Carleton on October 14, 1794. The next issue of the Gazette contains a few words from the new publisher and a special section from Rev. William Bentley, an outspoken columnist known at the time for his eccentric, but unspotted character in writing.
