Correct Answer: J.A.Hickey.


Solution : Correct Answer is J.A.Hickey.

A two-sheet newspaper, it was published weekly. The Bengal Gazette, the first Indian newspaper, was published in India by James Augustus Hicky in 1780. Even though it was also known as the Calcutta General Advertiser, it was often referred to as Hicky's Gazette. To emphasize that his newspaper was founded first, Hicky changed the name of his publication from Hicky's Bengal Gazette—or, Calcutta General Advertiser—to Hicky's Bengal Gazette.
