What are the characteristics of newspapers?

1, which can be read at any time, without time limitation, and will not miss the information reported at the specified time like TV or radio programs;

2, circulated to each other, the number of readers can be several times that of printing;

Even people with poor reading or understanding ability can spend more time absorbing news from newspapers.

With the rise of Internet, the circulation of online newspapers is stronger than that of traditional printed newspapers.

The direct origin of modern newspapers is printed newsprint (single news leaflet), which appeared in Germany in the15th century. Frankfurter allgemeine zeitung, founded in 16 15, is generally regarded as the first "real" newspaper, because it has a fixed name and is published once a week, and each newspaper prints several pieces of news instead of a single sheet (but only one side).

The word "newspaper" first appeared in 1665, the first British newspaper, Oxford Gazette. 1650, the earliest daily newspaper New Arrival appeared in Leipzig, Germany, but it was not until 18 century that the daily newspaper became the protagonist of the newspaper. The popularity of daily newspapers marks the maturity of journalism in a country or region, because the continuous publication of daily newspapers puts forward higher requirements for information collection and transmission, printing technology, the quality of journalists and the level of managers.
