Newspaper


Newspaper – Rome – 59 B.C.E.

The first high- circulation newspapers arose in the eastern United States in the early 1800s, and were made possible by the invention of high-speed rotary steam printing presses, and railroads which allowed large-scale distribution over wide geographical areas.  The increase in circulation, however, led to a decline in feedback and interactivity from the readership, making newspapers a more one-way medium.
