What is a newspaper?
A newspaper is a form of media that prints news stories and other articles and distributes them to inform people about what’s going on around them. They have been a popular source of finding out information and getting the news for over 3,000 years.
When you hear the word newspaper, what is the first thing that pops into your head? You may think of reading about current events or catching up on local news. A newspaper is a paper that is used to print stories, editorials, and other articles.
The newspaper is generally small-size in design to be read quickly. The news printed on it is the latest news about sports, politics, weather, and other things that are going on around the world. Newspapers have been around for a long time and have been used as a source of new information. In early printing days, the newspaper was used to print pamphlets that contained information about the then-current events. These newspaper pages were folded into sections with one section per topic which made them easier to read and distribute.
People and newspaper makers started understanding the power of the newspaper press. The newspaper became a potent force in communication and they turned into the newspaper industry we know today.
The History of Newspaper :
When you hear the word “newspaper,” what comes to mind? Many people envision a physical paper, an outdated technology. But, even with the popularity of news from television and the internet, people still read them every day. History shows us that although news can be spread from a digital or television screen, print newspapers have been valuable to society throughout history.
The History of Newspaper presents evidence that the first newspapers were created in China, around the second-century B.C.E.
However, it isn’t until 1556 that European history remembers the first printed newspaper. History reports that a German publisher created this paper, which contained information from books and other publications from around Europe.
Japanese History also remembers the first printed newspaper, which was named Tsuhan Weihai. This paper’s creation date is unknown but History recalls that it was created after the German newspaper.
History also reports that this paper was available for purchase, much like modern publications and evidence of the first newspapers in the New World as well. History remembers that some publications printed in the Americas were created around 1690, and these papers contained information on war and politics similar to the papers in Europe. It also presents evidence of a publication called Publick Occurrences, which was created by Benjamin Harris.
History warns readers that this paper was short-lived, as it was banned by the British Crown just six weeks after its publication because of its criticism of British colonies. It also presents evidence that the first American publication to be called a “newspaper” was created in 1704 by Samuel Keimer.
History also reports that the first daily newspaper was created in Japan on March 7, 1779. It also presents evidence of New York as being home to the first English-language daily newspaper, The Daily Courant.
History remembers that this publication was created on September 25, 1785, and History reports that its existence was short-lived. History recalls that the first American Sunday newspaper, The New York Weekly Journal, was created in 1733.
