In her book Guide to Newspapers in Hawaii 1834-2000, Hawaii newspaper historian Helen Chapin listed and categorized most newspapers created in Hawaii from 1834, when missionaries printed the first newspapers in Hawaii. The following table shows the numbers of newspapers by titles, islands, languages, and categories compiled by Chapin and the numbers of newspapers in Chronicling America:
Chapin created 29 categories for the newspapers:
Represents the mainstream or dominant power. Pro-American business, pro-sugar, pro-annexation.
Voices anti-establishment or countervailing views. Not necessarily pro-Hawaiian.
