The Massachusetts Spy, later subtitled the Worcester Gazette,[1] (est. 1770) was a newspaper published by Isaiah Thomas in Boston and Worcester, Massachusetts, in the 18th century.[1]

The newspaper was heavily political and found itself constantly on the verge of being suppressed by the British colonial government, from the time of its establishment in 1770 to 1776 and through the beginning of the American Revolution.
