Ben Franklin, British America’s Most Successful Printer

Ben Franklin got his first taste of the printing business in 1718 when he turned twelve and entered an apprenticeship at his brother’s Boston newspaper, The New-England Courant. He would eventually own eight of the fifteen newspapers in the American colonies, making him one of the richest men in America. Tom Hand, creator and publisher of Americana Corner, discusses how Franklin’s early experience led to a successful, and lucrative, career as a printer, and why it still matters today.
