The Pennsylvania Journal

The Pennsylvania Journal was an American weekly newspaper published by William Bradford during the 18th century.

The first edition of The Pennsylvania Journal appeared in December 1742.

A famous contributor was Thomas Paine, who published his first-ever journalism in the Journal in 1775 and contributed a series of pamphleteering essays entitled The American Crisis from December 1776 onwards.
