Read the text and do the tasks.
It is not easy to fancy our life without newspapers, magazines, tabloids, and reviews of all kinds. And what was the first newspaper like? When was it made?
The earliest newspaper appeared in 59 BC (before Christ – до Рождества Христова) in Rome. It was a handwritten daily newspaper. It was very little – only one sheet. Julius Caesar, the Emperor of Rome, ordered to post them throughout the city to inform the people about political events, scandals, military conflicts and executions (казни).
In Europe printed newspapers appeared in the 15th century, when the letter press (пресс для печатания) was invented. In the 16th century the newspapers increased greatly. People began to read more and the post developed quickly. The first daily newspaper in England was The Daily Courant; its first issue was published in London in 1702. In France the first daily newspaper Journal de Paris appeared in 1777, and soon after that , in 1784, The Pennsylvania Packet became the first daily newspaper of the United States.
