The existence of newspapers has a long history. The dissemination of news took place precisely with their help for a long time, and today they still remain a popular mass media.
The progenitor of newspapers is considered to be the scrolls distributed in ancient Rome. They had all the features of a modern paper edition: they brought news to people, came out periodically, and spread massively. In the fifteenth century, Gutenberg invented the printing press, and from the sixteenth the world was filled with printed newspapers. In seventeenth century France, newspapers were so important that some of the material was written by the king himself. With the advent of book printing, the price of newspapers decreased and millions of citizens from different countries got the opportunity to purchase them. Since then, they have been the mouthpiece of the latest news, and the frequency of newspapers varies. The most popular are those that are published daily - this allows you to distribute not yet outdated news and bring them to people before losing interest in the event. Weekly newspapers put more emphasis on analytical materials, which gives people the opportunity not to learn about the event, but to appreciate its role in history. With the development of the Internet, the newspaper market has suffered enormous losses. Online media are replacing print with several advantages. Firstly, it is the speed of information dissemination. Even daily newspapers are published once a day, while updating an Internet page takes a couple of minutes. Secondly, newspapers need to be subscribed to or purchased from newsstands. The World Wide Web exists in almost every home and there is no charge for reading online newspapers. For several years now, modern society has been arguing about the fate of the print media market. But the predictions of the complete disappearance of newspapers from the face of the earth are unlikely to come true - older generations still subscribe to their favorite publications, many of them do not go online at all and learn news from newspapers and TV. You should not give up on the oldest mass media, because nothing can replace the rustle of newspaper leaves in your hands, as well as the compactness and convenience of printed publications.
