NEWSPAPER

  A newspaper is a daily/ weekly booklet that is made from folded sheets of thin paper. It contains news from around the world, information and advertisements. Newspapers are printed on cheap and low quality paper because they are printed in large amounts and so often. A newspaper is printed on thin **paper** made from a combination of recycled matter and wood pulp, and is not intended to last very long.  ** 1447 ** Johann Gutenberg invents letterpress printing, a process that will allow the mass production of the printed word.. The invention of the printing press by Johann Gutenberg in 1447 allowed for printed newsletters and information pamphlets, which - along with handwritten versions - circulated in 1400s Europe. However they cannot be considered newspapers as we recognise them today: some were just circulated privately among groups.

 * 1665 ** London Gazette (First English newspaper)
 * 1803 ** Australia’s military government publishes the //Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser//, the country’s first newspaper.

In the English speaking world, the first successively published title was ‘The Weekly News’ in 1622. However, based on its format and officially sanctioned status England's ‘London Gazette’, which appeared in 1665, is reckoned to be the first true, 'modern' English-language newspaper.  **__What is the newspaper used for? __**   <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 20pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">A **newspaper** is a printed booklet that contains [|news], information, and [|advertising].

By looking at the pictures of the newspapers above we can see that there are less pictures/ photos printed on the newspapers in the earlier years. As the years have gone on, there have been more pictures/ photos printed. The news topics/ information within the newspapers have changed. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt;">Newspaper content (information/ news) began to shift toward more local issues in the later half of the 17th century. Still, censorship was widespread and newspapers were not really allowed to discuss events that might change people’s opinions. <span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt;">By the middle of the 19th century, newspapers were becoming the main tool of sending out and receiving information. Between 1890 to 1920, the period known as the “golden age” of print media, media barons such as William Randolph Hearst, Joseph Pulitzer, and Lord Northcliffe built huge publishing kingdoms. Broadcast radio became a very big communication tool in the 1920’s. Newspapers were forced to go over their role as society’s most important information supplier. Up until this point the newspaper was the main tool used to pass on this information to society.
