THE HISTORY OF NEWSPAPERS
The history of newspapers is probably longer than you think. Although it wouldn’t be accurate to consider
government reports in Ancient China and Rome to be newspapers, they are at least the distant relatives of the print
media we know today.
It’s very easy to forget what life must have been like without modern technology. These days, we receive the
latest stories from people in the limelight, know which politicians are out of favour with the public and hear about
what’s making headlines all over the world in real time. Obviously, centuries ago, there wouldn’t have been any of
this. As a matter of fact, the first newspapers were handwritten, which immediately restricted their circulation. It’s
also safe to say that the majority of people were illiterate, so a newspaper would have been out of reach for most.
Many people regard the first newspaper as the Relation aller Fürnemmen und gedenckwürdigen Historien,
published in Germany in 1605. It is probably more accurate to call this a news booklet, given its dimensions, which
were a fraction of the size of the newspapers we are familiar with today. It summarized the news over a total of
eight pages. Not until almost 100 years later did England see its first daily. Elizabeth Mallet was responsible for the
production of the Daily Courant and she prided herself on reporting with impartiality as far as politics was concerned.
There wasn’t any delving into the lives of the rich and famous; however, interestingly, she did try to focus on a global
perspective rather than a local one.
When Elizabeth Mallet sold her publication to Samuel Buckley, he relocated the business to Fleet Street in
London. Buckley’s name often appears in the history books when talking about early newspapers, but
undoubtedly, it is Mallet who played an even bigger role. Her impartiality was actually well before its time, with
most journalists in the 18th century making their feelings clearly known. This was bound to cause tension between
journalists and politicians if the former had written something negative about government policies.
By the 19th century, the number of literate people was on the increase, and this led to a desire to know what
was going on both locally and overseas. Newspapers were in their element with this fresh demand for news, and they
became more politically powerful as a result. It was also at this time that newspaper advertising became more
prominent.
In modern day terminology, the 20th century was the period when reading newspapers ‘went viral’. The
activity was a daily habit for most. The power journalists had to influence policy and manipulate the opinions of their
readers was at its height. More attention was paid to layout and design as well.
In the current century, however, newspapers are starting to feel somewhat out of their depth. With TV, radio
and especially the internet, all reporting on the same stories, newspapers are being left behind. Young people growing
up today are the first in many generations that won’t regularly buy a newspaper, opting in favour of the many

alternative ways of receiving the news instantly. Having said that, you can’t teach old dogs new tricks (difficult to
teach someone new skills / to change someone’s habits) – and it’s surprising how many old dogs there are who
