Benjamin Franklin Bache (journalist)


Benjamin Franklin Bache was an American journalist, printer and publisher. He founded the Philadelphia Aurora, a newspaper that supported Jeffersonian philosophy. He frequently attacked the Federalist political leaders, including Presidents George Washington and John Adams, and historian Gordon S. Wood wrote that no editor did more to politicize the press in the 1790s. His papers heated attacks are thought to have contributed to Congresss passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts.
