Grub Street Journal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Published from January 8, 1730 to 1738,[1][2][3] The Grub-Street Journal was a satire on popular journalism and hack-writing as it was conducted in Grub Street in London.[4] It was largely edited by Richard Russel and the botanist John Martyn. While he disclaimed it, Alexander Pope was one of its contributors,[2][3] continuing his satire which he had started with The Dunciad.
After its end, The Literary Courier of Gruber Street succeeded it for a few months.[1]
