The Origin(來歷) of Newspapers
The first newspapers were written by hand and put up on walls in public places. The earliest daily newspaper(日報)was started in Rome in 59 B.C. In the 700s, the world’s first printed(印刷的)newspaper was published(出版). Europe didn’t have a regularly(定期地)published newspaper until 1609, when one was started in Germany.
The first regularly published newspaper in the English language was printed in Amsterdam(荷蘭首都：阿姆斯特丹)in 1620. In 1621, an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily English newspaper was the Daily Courant(每日新聞). It came out in March 1720.
In 1690, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was first published, the government stopped the paper. In 1704, John Campbell started the Boston Newsletter(波士頓新聞通訊), the first newspaper published daily in America. By 1760, the country had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1,800 daily papers in the United States.
Today, as a group, English language newspapers have the largest circulation(發(fā)行量) in the world, but the largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun(朝日新聞). It sells more than eleven million copies every day.(Examda)
