The Halifax Gazette was Canada's first newspaper, established on March 23, 1752, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It was published weekly by John Bushell, who had been carrying out a project that had been initiated by his partner Bartholomew Green, Jr. The newspaper had been entirely dependent on the government for funding.[1] Richard Bulkeley became the editor in 1758. After Bushell, Anthony Henry became the publisher, followed by John Howe.
