The Providence Journal, colloquially known as the ProJo, is a daily newspaper serving the metropolitan area of Providence, the largest newspaper in Rhode Island, US. The newspaper was first published in 1829. The newspaper had won four Pulitzer Prizes as of 2023[update].
The Journal bills itself as "America's oldest daily newspaper in continuous publication",[1] as the Hartford Courant, started in 1764, did not become a daily until 1837, and the New York Post, which began daily publication in 1801, suspended publication during strikes in 1958 and 1978.[3]
