Whis is first newspaper of world ?

Senior Moments

If you mean printed journals of news appearing at frequent intervals under the same imprint, the answer is two German publications that started around the same time in the middle of January in 1609. Aviso Relation oder Zeitung was published weekly from 15th January and Relation Aller Furnemmen und Gedenckwurdigen Historien was published weekly but not numbered or dated.

While looking up one of your other questions, I came across the following which contradicts my earlier answer.- The first printed newspaper in the world emanated from Nuremburg, though for a time people believed that the English Mercurie said to have been produced in 1588, had that honour. But it was proven, some years ago, that the English Mercurie was a forgery, produced for the collector, and the claims of the Venice Gazetta of 1570 were unchallenged for a considerable period. But it was not to be. Nuremburg, the home of Albrecht Durer, preceded the Venetian news sheet by over a hundred years, and we have proof today that the first printed newspaper beyond any shadow of doubt was produced in 1457, five years after Peter Schoeffer first cast metal type in matrices at Nuremburg, with the title of Gazette. Next in 1534, came the Neue Zeitung aus Hispanien and Italien, published at Cologne, and from that date onwards the growth of the newspapers may be said to have begun. - www.berrowsjournal.co.uk/history/chapter7.htm Jan 09 02, 8:18 AM
