Traditional treasure

Newspapers are not the only channel to spread news. Since human beings have a language, news can spread. For example, where there are prey, where there are enemy attacks, and where people are injured, these can be passed down from mouth to mouth; With words, it is even more remarkable. What happened and lessons learned can be recorded, disseminated and circulated. It can be said that as long as there are people, there is news dissemination.

Running a newspaper was later, and it first appeared in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, it was mainly an official newspaper, which was distributed from the central government to the local government. It was developed and perfected in the Song Dynasty, and it was called Dibao, which was distributed by officials in Beijing. Later, influenced and inspired, people began to run tabloids. Although it is not official, many of them are handwritten, but the content is varied and deeply loved by the people who eat melons.

So it's not that ancient people didn't run newspapers, but they couldn't be as professional and comprehensive as they are now. First of all, paper and printing technology restrict the distribution of newspapers. The cost of this piece is very high, and the ordinary class can't buy it, so it can only be spread on a small scale. Moreover, public opinion in ancient times was far less free and unknowable than it is now, so I dare not write casually or distribute it at will. Think about what a terrible thing it is.

As for journalists, they can only pay tribute to all kinds of ancient writers. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a special person who was responsible for the collection, mainly recording various meetings and major events related to the monarch, and then publishing or archiving them. This is the prototype of a reporter! There are also a lot of valuable news in ancient history books, which are worth exploring.

Therefore, newspapers are the product of the development of productive forces to a certain stage. In fact, the traditional paper media is gradually declining, and network communication has become a necessity in our daily life with a wider audience and faster speed. This is evidence of the continuous improvement of communication means.
