    Print journalism has existed since ancient Rome, but mass printing enabled its rapid growth in the 15th century. While Daniel Defoe has been called the first journalist, modern journalism began in the late 18th century with publications serving as advocates for political parties or social groups. Even in the 19th century journalists remained largely controlled by political parties, though enterprising American newspaper editors in the mid-19th century influenced other media like muckraking magazines and independent periodicals.

    Print journalism

    Journalism dates at least from the Acta Diurna of Rome (a series of


    public announcements that can be considered the prototype of the
    modern newspaper), but it was not until the 15th cent. that the
    invention of printing made possible its rapid growth. Daniel Defoe

    first journalist, as distinct from a writer. Modern journalism,
    however, began in the latter years of the 18th cent. with each
    venture serving, as it does in many countries to this day, as the
    proponent and voice of a political party or social group. Even in the
    19th cent. journalists, despite their increased liberties in England
    and the United States, were largely controlled by political parties.
    Except where it is under totalitarian state control, journalism has
    never been a monolithic enterprise, but has ranged as it continues
    to do from sensational pseudofact and scandal to high-quality
    reporting, evaluation, and opinion. Enterprising American
    newspaper editors in the mid-19th cent. influenced other journalistic
    media (e.g., the muckraking magazine and the independent
    periodical).
