The Bell Islander was a weekly newspaper that featured local news, sports and history. It was owned and edited/written by Addison Bown on Bell Island.
The paper was set into type in Bay Roberts by David B. Russell, editor of the Bay Roberts Guardian, and his assistants. Taximan Albert Littlejohn would bring the material back and forth to a St. John's - Portugal Cove taximan who transhipped it to Bell Island.
