Salisbury Journal

The Salisbury Journal serves as the community newspaper for the Salisbury region in England. It was originally established in 1729 and saw a revival in 1736 under William Collins, who used it as a platform to challenge the administration of Sir Robert Walpole. After the passing of William Collins, his brother, Benjamin Collins, took over the management of the newspaper.
