The Tatler, the world’s oldest news magazine, was launched from a coffee house in St. James, London, on Tuesday, April 12, 1709. Edited by Sir Richard Steele, the bi-weekly Tatler provided commentary on the manners, morals and gossip of the day. Its readers waited eagerly for each sheet to find out the latest news and to debate the issues with their friends. With only a few lapses, The Tatler has been published continuously from that time to the present.

And now here’s a NCCU Tatler. English majors in the middle British Literature class comment here on hotly debated social issues around campus. We have tried to be faithful to both the style and the spirit of those early Tatlers. We hope you will enjoy our efforts and that you will have fun debating the issues with your friends.
