Unverified Claimed Launch of the British Gazette and Sunday Monitor
- When
- 26 March 1780 (disputed; unsupported by supplied passages)
- Where
- London (claimed, unverified)
A legacy hint asserts a 26 March 1780 London launch, but no supplied passage corroborates the date, place, title, or first-Sunday-newspaper status.
The legacy discovery row records the British Gazette and Sunday Monitor beginning publication in London on 26 March 1780 and calls it the first Sunday newspaper in Britain. The sole supplied source, an article on The Sunday Times, never mentions this title, its launch, its founders, or its editors. Under the event's verification rule, the date and place cannot be admitted, and the first-in-Britain status cannot be asserted. The row is marked unresolved rather than deleted, preserving the hint for future sourcing.
