Answer:
Newspapers have been around for a long time. The term was coined in the 16th century and the first newspapers were printed in the early 17th century, sparked by the global spread of the printing press. ... Over time, newspapers have evolved into an entire industry fueled by advertisers and information-hungry consumers.
More about newspapers:
In 1766, a Dutch adventurer, William Bolts, proposed starting a newspaper for the English audience in Calcutta. He was deported by the East India Company, before his plans could come to fruition. In January 1780, James Augustus Hicky published Hicky's Bengal Gazette, the first newspaper in India. The size of that four-page newspaper was 12"x8". Hicky accused the members of the East India Company, including Governor-General Warren Hastings of corruption. In retaliation Hastings prohibited the post office from carrying Hicky's Bengal Gazette, and later sued Hicky for libel. In November 1780, the India Gazette appeared; it supported the Company government.
