'''''Sambad Prabhakar''''' (also ''Sangbad Prabhakar'', {{lang-bn|সংবাদ প্রভাকর}}) was a [[Bengali language|Bengali]] daily newspaper founded by [[Ishwar Chandra Gupta]]. It began as a weekly newspaper in 1831 and became a daily eight years later in 1839. It was the first Bengali daily newspaper. ''Sambad Prabhakar'' covered news on [[India]] and abroad and put forward its views on religion, politics, society, and literature. It was influential in the [[Bengali Renaissance]] and in building public sentiment leading to the [[indigo revolt]].<ref name="bp"/><br />

== History ==<br />
''Sambad Prabhakar'' was the brainchild of Ishwar Chandra Gupta. His patron was Jogendra Mohan Thakur of [[Pathuriaghata]]. It began as a weekly newspaper launched on 28 January 1831 (16 [[Magh (Bengali calendar)|Magh]] 1237BS).<ref name="bp">{{cite book |last=Chaudhuri |first=Indrajit |year=2012 |chapter=Sangbad Prabhakar |chapter-url=http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=Sangbad_Prabhakar |editor1-last=Islam |editor1-first=Sirajul |editor1-link=Sirajul Islam |editor2-last=Jamal |editor2-first=Ahmed A. |title=Banglapedia: National Encyclopedia of Bangladesh |edition=Second |publisher=[[Asiatic Society of Bangladesh]]}}</ref> As stated, Mr. Thakur was the backbone to this paper and his death caused the paper to close publication in 1832.<br />
<br />
In 1836, the newspaper was revived by Ishwar Chandra Gupta and appeared as a tri-weekly on August 10, 1836. The Thakurs of Pathurighata lent a helping hand to the paper again and in 1837 the ''Sambad Prabhakar'' became the first [[Bengali language]] daily on June 14, 1839.<ref name="bp" /><br />
