Felices" (Fortunate Events). The
publication was written in Spanish and
contained a 14-page report on current
events.
1799 – Pinpin came up with his Hojas
Volantes or "flying sheets". It was titled
"Aviso Al Publico" (Notices to the Public),
which served the Spaniards and had a role
comparative to a "town crier.“
