- The Prophet (newspaper)
-
The Prophet was a local Latter Day Saint newspaper in New York City, New York, USA. The first editor of the paper was William Smith, and the periodical was printed from 1844 to 1845.[1]
The paper was likely founded as part of Joseph Smith's presidential campaign. It resembled other contemporary Mormon newspapers, from which it often published excerpts.[2] Other editors included George T. Leach, Samuel Brannan, A. E. Wright, and Parley P. Pratt.[3] In July 1845 the paper's format and name changed to become the New-York Messenger, which lasted until the end of the year.[4]
