Newspapers were concerned mainly with news event, but The Review focused on important domestic issues of the day as well as the policies of the government.
    In England at the time, people could still be thrown in jail for publishing articles that were critical of the King anti that’s exactly what happened to Daniel Defoe. He was the outspoken founder of The Review. Defoe actually wrote the first issue of The Review from prison. You see, he had been arrested because of his writings that criticized the policies of the Church of England which was headed by the King. After his release, Defoe continued to produce The Review and the magazine started to appear on a mare frequent schedule, about 3 times a week.
