What is the longest-running newspaper in the U.S.?

Stop the presses! Or don't. Actually, please keep them rolling because how else am I supposed to line my birdcage?

Let's face it, newspapers have been around longer than most of us can remember. They've outlasted eight-track tapes, phone books, and especially those vegetables in the fridge you keep promising to cook.

Back in ye olden days, before the internet became our go-to source for cat videos and daily trivia (wink wink), newspapers were like the town gossip, but with better spelling. They'd tell you who got married, who got arrested, and occasionally, who did both in the same weekend.

But let's be honest, the real reason anyone ever bought a newspaper was for the comics. Garfield's been hating on Mondays, Snoopy's been battling the Red Baron, and Calvin's been philosophizing with Hobbes for decades. And let's not forget about good ol' Charlie Brown and Lucy. She's been yanking that football away longer than some papers have been in print.

Now, among all these papers, there's one that's been around so long it's seen the country grow from a rebellious teen to a world superpower. This newspaper has reported on everything from the powdered wigs of the Founding Fathers to the latest TikTok trends and seen more presidents than the White House.
