- Joseph Royle (1732 – January 26, 1766) was a colonial American newspaper publisher and printer for the colony of Virginia. He was a journeyman who apprenticed under Virginia's printer of public record, William Hunter. He became the foreman in the print shop and upon the death of Hunter, Royle took over his position, a prestigious job of producing all the colony's legal documents. He also published the Virginia Gazette newspaper, which had been started by William Parks. Royle tended to publish articles that favored the colonial government over opposing viewpoints. Royle lived in Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia and became the postmaster of its post office. Royle enslaved a number of people, who did household chores and worked in his print shop. Several ran away, and he published advertisements in his newspaper to get them recaptured. The historian David Hall writes that Royle followed Ben Franklin's model as a typical colonial merchant and businessman. (en)
