 Prayatna: The Spectator - an 18th century innovation in publishing   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The Spectator, a single sheet daily newspaper published by two Englishmen - Joseph Addison and Richard Steele - from March 01, 1711 to December 06, 1712 - was a pioneering innovation of its times.
Nonetheless, the women of 1711 were flattered simply to be noticed by a literary culture that had hitherto been content to completely ignore them or treat them as mere objects of male desire.
The Spectator was issued daily— the Friday edition confining itself to literary matter, the Saturday to moral and religious; and it aimed to accomplish even a greater work than its predecessor [The Tatler] had done.

 Spectator Club by Sir Richard Steele: First
Sir Richard Steele (1672-1729), Addison`s chief collaborator in the "Tatler" and the "Spectator," was born in Dublin of an English father and an Irish mother.
The chief glory of the "Spectator" is, of course, the club, and it was in the essay which follows that Steele first sketched the characters composing it.
Whatever may be the respective claims of Addison and Steele to the credit for the success of the "Spectator," it is to Steele that the honor belongs of having founded its predecessor, the "Tatler," and so of originating the periodical essay.

 The Spectator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Spectator is a British magazine, established in 1828 and published weekly.
From its founding in 1828 the Spectator has always taken a pro-British line in foreign affairs; such was the case in 1904 when it raised concerns about the anti-British and Pan-Asian attitudes prevalent amongst Indian students in Japan.
The Spectator tends to follow its educated-and-conservative target audience's fashions and social concerns: sourcing organic food at markets, the pros and cons of private education, hunting, etc. Certain British cultural establishments are also often favourably alluded to, such as the University of Oxford (alma mater of many Spectator contributors), Ascot and White's.
