Answer:
The history of written news dates back to the Roman empire around 59BC. Back then, Rome was the center of the western world and was the hub of innovation -- from grid based cities to the invention of concrete, Rome was leading the way. Most historians credit the birth of the regular written news updates to the Romans. Acta Diurna (which roughly translates to daily public records) which was hard carved news on stone or metal sheets, covering politics, military campaigns, chariot races and executions, was published daily and posted by the government in the Roman Forum. The Acta which was originally kept secret, was later made public by Julius Caesar in 59BC.
