The Daily Dispatch: February 3, 1865., [Electronic resource], The Origin of newspapers. (search)
e newspaper, was the Acts Diurna, (proceedings of the day,) a kind of gazette, published daily at Rome, under the authority of the Government. It contained an account of the proceedings of the public assemblies, of the law courts, of the punishment of offenders, and a list of births, marriages and deaths. The proceedings of the public assemblies and the law courts were obtained by means of reporters, called actuaries. The proceedings of the Senate were not published till the time of Julius Cæsar, and this custom was prohibited by Augustus; An account of the proceedings of the Senate was still preserved, though not published, and Tacitus informs us that scene Senator was chosen by the Emperor to compile the account. The Actor was frequently consulted and appealed to by later historians. Macanley, in the twenty-first chapter of the fourth volume of his history of England, has given a highly entertaining and instructive sketch of the rise and progress of newspapers in England.
