    HISTORY OF NEWSPAPERS Early news publications Before the invention of newspapers in the early 17th century, official government bulletins were circulated at times in some centralized empires. The Roman Empire published Acta Diurna, or government announcement bulletins, around 59 BC, under the rule of Julius Caesar. They were carved in metal or stone and posted in public places. In China, early governmentproduced newssheets, called tipao, circulated among court officials during the late Han dynasty (second and third centuries AD). Sixteenth century (avvisi, gazettes) The increased interaction between nations in early capitalist Europe created a rising need for information which was met by concise handwritten newssheets. In 1556, the government of Venice first published the monthly Notizie scritte, which cost one gazetta. These avvisi were handwritten newsletters and were used to convey political, military, and economic news quickly and efficiently throughout Europe, more specifically Italy, during the early modern era (1500-1700). Avvisi, or Gazzettes, were a mid-sixteenth century Venice phenomenon. They were issued on single sheets, folded to form four pages, and issued on a weekly schedule. These publications reached a larger audience than handwritten news had in early Rome. Their format and appearance at regular intervals were two major influences on the newspaper as we know it today. The idea of a weekly, handwritten newssheet went from Italy to Germany, and then to Holland. They shared some characteristics of newspapers, but usually they are not considered true newspapers, since they were typically not intended for the general public and restricted to a certain range of topics. Newspaper The earliest newspapers date back to 17th century Europe, when printed periodicals began rapidly to replace handwritten newssheets. Their emergence is closely connected with the simultaneous spread of the printing press. However, in Germany, publications that we would today consider to be newspapers, were appearing as early as the sixteenth century. They were discernibly newspapers for the following reasons: they were printed, dated, appeared at regular and frequent publication intervals, and included a variety of news items.
