Development of European newspaper

There has been a long history about the development of European newspaper.After the typography was invented,the whole world went into the time of mass media.The first printed newspaper was well known as the Nieuwe Tijdinghen,published in 1609 in Netherland.This was seen as the start of a new era.Since then,newspaper has made a huge progress.However,at that time,the politics was not so developed as today,so the government didn’t put tough regulation on newspapers.

After the advent of newspapers,they were all controlled by some rich or powerful people.They could decide what to be printed and what should be expressed to the public.In 1881,France published the law supporting the freedom of speech,newspaper got a rapid growth in France.The amount of publish had been five times than before and more and more people began to accept this kind of way to spread news.While the government has take involved in this business.They tried to keep the power in their hand and controlled the main newspaper in order to lead the public.They took two methods to do this thing.First,they made laws to regulate the newspaper so that they could speak on their behalf.What was more,they also sponsored some important newspapers in order that they could get exactly what were printed swiftly.All what they do had the same goal,that was to guide the people and support the government.This was the final political aim.

Another way was the evolvement of postal systems.With the general improvement of postal system day by day,the news paper had got a great evolvement.Postal system led us to the mass media and made newspaper well accepted.Especially in France,they have complicated the postal system so that this contributed a lot for the newspaper.There was a funny thing could reflect this globalization of newspaper,a person from the Netherland was reading a French newspaper which was published by England.
