The first newspaper printed in Asia was Hicky’s Bengal Gazette or the Original Calcutta General Advertiser. It was founded in 1780 by James Augustus Hicky, an eccentric and intrepid Irishman. Published as a weekly from Calcutta, then capital of British India, it retailed for one rupee, quite a large sum in those days. Its motto, “Open to all parties, but influenced by none,” might still be the watchword of good journalism. Unfortunately, its founder-editor-publisher fell foul with the authorities. He was a strong critic of Warren Hastings, then Governor-General. Hicky faced multiple lawsuits, was imprisoned, and went bankrupt. His paper had to be closed down within two years of its founding. After Hicky’s, many other papers and journals were founded in India, but most proved shirt-lived.
