New York Enquirer

The New York Enquirer has been the name of two unrelated newspapers published in New York City.

19th century New York Enquirer

The New York Enquirer was founded in 1826 by Mordecai Noah. According to the masthead, it was "published every Tuesday and Friday at No. 1 Williams St., New York, New York". Noah was a strong supporter of Andrew Jackson and published often highly slanted pro-Jackson news reporting, along with international news.

By the early 1830s it had merged with a Whig paper to become the Morning Courier & New York Enquirer.

20th century New York Enquirer

Founded in 1926, the second New York Enquirer was renamed The National Enquirer in 1954 and converted to a tabloid format; see that article for more information.
