John Pory

(Pory, John, 1572-1636)

John Pory (b. 1572–d. 1633) was an English politician, administrator, traveller, and author during the Jacobean and Caroline eras; the skilled linguist may have been the first news correspondent in English-language journalism. As the first Speaker of the Virginia General Assembly, Pory established parliamentary procedures for that legislative body still in use today (although members now elect their Speaker).
