Text. THE HISTORY OF THE NEWSPAPER

Прочитайте и переведите текст. Назовите предшественников со-

временной газеты.

The earliest attempts to circulate news were made in ancient Rome. In

Rome the Daily Events was published from early days of the Empire until its fall

in A.D. 476 and, besides its general circulation, was used as a medium of com-

munication between military officers and their armies.

Soon after the invention of printing, newspapers were circulated in Ger-

many. They were small sheets, generally in accounts of the discovery of Amer-

ica, the surrender of Granada to Ferdinand and Isabella, and such local events as

earthquakes, executions and witch burning.

In the 16

century an official newspaper was issued in Venice, with ac-

counts of battles and other matters of public interest. This paper was circulated

throughout Europe, and originally sold for a small coin called a «gazetta». In

time the paper was called «gazetta», a name which is still used. These little

sheets, issued occasionally, had. little in common with the great newspapers of

today, with their great number of news items.
