What is the history of newspaper development?

The earliest newspaper in China is Shenbao, which was founded in the early Western Han Dynasty and has a history of more than 265,438+000 years.

The administrative divisions of the Western Han Dynasty implemented the county system, with several counties under the state. Each county has representatives in Chang 'an, Kyoto, and the resident is called "land". The main task of the county representative is to do a good job of liaison between the emperor and the county governor, thus resulting in the "Dibao". The invention of papermaking further expanded the distribution of Dibao. By the Tang Dynasty, the distribution scope of Dibao had expanded to the whole country, with government officials at home and abroad as the main readers. Moreover, the contents of treasures in the Tang Dynasty are much richer than before. Besides the emperor's daily life, actions, imperial edicts and meetings, it also published memorials, appointments, rewards and punishments, rhetoric, hajj and circulars.

The appearance of foreign newspapers can be traced back to the Roman Empire. Julius Caesar, an outstanding politician and strategist in the ancient Roman Empire, published a kind of "Daily Diary News" to facilitate the management of the country and the battle, so as to issue various government decrees and battle reports, report the elections in the aristocratic court, publish the records of the aristocratic parliament, and also publish news about religious life and secular life.
