The History of the Newspaper
There have been newspapers around since the 19th century. Around that
time all the papers were aimed at high class people because they were
the only people who could afford an education. They only consisted of
Standard English without any slang which is quite surprising. These
papers were huge one portrait side of a paper was A3 and when the two
pages were together then you can imagine a massive paper they were
called 'Broadsheet'.
In the 20th century more people began to read due to free education so
newspapers became more compulsory and had to change to suit
everybody's needs. This soon changed and turned into a fight for the
readers. Something even more frustrating for newspaper publishers was
the release of the television place around the beginning of the 20th
century but never really took off until around the middle.
This made an even bigger fight for the readers the things that changed
were really big, the whole layout, style and context of the papers
were changed which gave birth to the tabloid paper. The main reasons
for this change were the television more people found it more
accessible to watch at times that suited them. The other reason was
the radio more people also found it easier to switch on in their lunch
hour without even having to stop what they were doing.
When newspapers were known as broadsheets the language was just plain
old Standard English not even a word of slang they were aimed at only
the high class type and the reason for that was because no poor person
could afford an education. Now I think that the papers have a lot more
competition because the internet is a primary source of information
and data. I also think that people would rather listen to it on the
radio or watch it on the television probably because the television
only publicises big stories and things that happen in the country.
Tabloid papers like the Sun and the mirror have some types of gimmicks
Books today are everywhere. We find them in many households, libraries and schools all around the globe. We find many different types of books; from stories to educational textbooks, we regard them today as sources of knowledge and amusement. But it wasn’t the case before 1455. That year, one of the greatest inventions in human history was revealed to the world; Gutenberg’s printing press. This press allowed printing in massive quantity, spreading books all around Europe and the rest of the world at a fast rate. The printing press had many positive consequences on society. At first, it standardized grammar and spelling, and then introduced the mass production of books. It finally inspired future printing technologies around the world.
"In the fall of 1999, Arts & Entertainment Television aired a three-hour series titled, “Biography of the Millennium." The show counted down from 100 the most influential people of the last 1000 years, and number one on the list was Johannes Gutenberg. This German craftsman revolutionized the world in the 1450s by inventing the printing the printing press"(Background Essay). The most important consequence of the printing press were it changes life of millions, we learn from it by reading books, magazines, novels and it spread because everyone started using it pretty quickly.

The printing press was invented in 1453. The movable printing technology was invented in China in 1040 but Johannes Gutenberg was able to perfect this technology by creating the Gutenberg printer in 1440. The printer was a movable type. A movable type was where individual blocks could be set up in order to print almost anything. Before this, wooden blocks, carved by hand were used to print things. These blocks would have consisted of what the individual wanted to print which would take an incredible amount of time. Gutenberg’s invention of a movable type printer established the ability for mass communication.
This is the time for the newspaper industry, The Economist in particularly, to fully explore alternative news delivery platforms, such as mobile phone and the Internet. “Old media” is no longer support the demand, and people tend to use more tablets and mobile phone rather than buy printed newspapers (Musil, 2013). Nevertheless, a simple change of platform is not guarantee of success.
Why is it that every time we see that someone is keeping a journal we have that gut urge to sneak into their bag and read all of their innermost thoughts? We all experience it. Although most want to deny it, there is no escaping that part of us that wants to know all we can about other people. Luckily, there is a medium that lets us do just that. Tabloids make the lives of others, especially celebrities, an open book for all to read and scrutinize. Not only do tabloids offer the lives of others on a silver platter, but they also let readers get sensational satisfaction, meaning they have the ability to be actively involved in articles with all their senses. Emotional stories, graphic images, terrifying fantastic epics, the lives of others, are all presented to readers in one convenient medium; the tabloid.

Another aspect of the 1920s which did not help the isolation between generations was the tabloids. The Bright Young People, who were sometimes touted as the reality stars of the 1920s, were followed by the press who watched every move they made. Yet, even with this constant coverage the press was very picky on what they did and did not publicize when it came to The Bright Young People. As Holloway reiterates, “The press publicized the most extreme stunts and parties of the most aristocratic and well-known young people – who often had important and distinguished parents – in order to sell newspapers and tabloids.” (Holloway 318). Some newspapers and tabloids did state why the middle generation did the things they did. Many stated that, “the

Dear School Newspaper, the reasoning behind why i do not do sports or extracurricular activitys is a no brainer for me. Most of the siblings in my family didn't do that kind of stuff because we all worked meanwhile other kids played. We needed to to bring in the income for ourselves and pay for all the things that we want. Yes my parents did help when we needed it and they were loving parents.

There are times when I remember my GOOD OLD DAYS at Vine Hill Elementary School.
It’s a question that keeps floating around in the public sphere: is print advertising and newspapers dead? The world is becoming more and more fast-paced and although, our want and need for the up-to-date news and breaking stories has not changed, the way in which we consume it has. This background report investigates and explains the downfall of the newspaper and the technological shift to online news.

I entered my room, stood for a brief moment, and basked in my room’s impeccability. I loved entering my room knowing I would not be disturbed and that my books were always waiting to take me in an escape from life during times when I needed to shut the world out and enter into new ones. I dropped the armful of books onto my bed and began to sort through my stack of library books from my research materials. While doing this, I came across a slim volume I didn't recognise with a plain, soft black cover nestled between two large ones looking greatly out of place. I couldn’t for the life of me, remember checking it out. It’s cracked spine and curled pages would not have looked appealing enough for me to consider it. I guess it must have fallen in while I was checking the books out of the library. It had happened before, but not quite by accident. In the days when I was still new to the university library, I used to intentionally yet inadvertently drop an extra novel into my book bag when I thought no one was looking. But this time I was absolutely certain I had not taken this book out on purpose.
