Barney Flaherty was the first newspaper carrier, hired in 1833 by Benjamin Day, publisher of the New York Sun. National Newspaper Carrier Day is a holiday mean to appreciate all of our newspaper deliverers and the convenience they provide to us and also to remember Barney Flaherty.
There is a Newspaper Carrier Hall of Fame, started in 1960, created to acknowledge some famous newspaper carriers in our nation’s history. Included in the Newspaper Carrier Hall of Fame are Martin Luther King Jr., Warren Buffet and John Wayne.
