At first, the press was just used to print material for the school, however, it soon expanded to printing various types of materials for the community. The Boston News-Letter was the first newspaper and was introduced in 1704; for seventeen years it was the only newspaper available in the colony. Shortly after, there were newspapers being introduced in different areas and there were 16 weekly newspapers in the British colonies by 1740.

Yellow Journalism was depicted by catching headlines, intense illustrations, and sometimes incorrect or misleading stories. Yellow Journalism could be misleading as some illustrations were political-ploys or biased statements trying to lead readers to believe their opinions.
