Events

  • 0May 9 : The world premiere of the comedy La Mère confidente by Pierre Carlet de Marivaux takes place at the Théâtre-Italien , Paris .
  • 0August 4 : At the end of the trial against the German-born publisher of the New York Weekly Journal , John Peter Zenger for defamation of the governor, the jury surprisingly finds him innocent. Two years earlier, at the suggestion of a group of Quakers around the lawyer James Alexander, Zenger had founded the “New York Weekly Journal” its own newspaper and an antipole to the government-loyal paper of his former teacher, the “New York Gazette”. His newspaper was to serve as a forum for their dissatisfaction with the new governor of New York, Sir William Cosby. As a result, a number of anonymous articles appeared that portrayed the authorities in an unflattering light. As a result, Zenger was charged with defamation of the governor in 1734 and imprisoned. Although the governor actively influenced the trial through the selection of judges and obstruction of witnesses, it ended well for Zenger. In the United States , this process outcome is considered one of the cornerstones of press freedom in the United States. The "John Peter and Anna Catherine Zenger Award for Freedom of the Press and the People's Right to Know", awarded by the Institute for Journalism at the University of Arizona since 1954, is only an expression of memory.
