Newspapers
What is a newspaper?
Newspaper is a printed publication issued on a regular basis. When reading
newspapers we learn about the latest news and other current events.
First newspapers
First newspapers appeared many years ago in Roman times. In Ancient Rome, Acta
Diurna (started in 59 B.C.), or government announcement bulletins, were produced.
They were carved in metal or stone and posted in public places.
At that time they did not look like newspapers we have today. Only in the XVI century
newspapers acquired their contemporary look. First Russian newspapers appeared in
the time of Peter the Great.
In China, early government-produced news sheets, called tipao, circulated among court
officials during the late Han dynasty (second and third centuries AD)
• Types of newspapers
• Today newspapers can be read by everyone. There are
national, regional and local newspapers. There are
newspapers published specially for professionals, for
teenagers and even children.
• There are newspapers which you have to pay money
for and the ones you can take for free. Some
newspapers are related to business, some exist for the
purpose of entertainment.
• There are tabloids and official newspapers. Some
newspapers are issued twice a week, some – once a
week, others – only in the mornings or only in the
evenings.

HISTORY OF RADIO
The history of radio!
During the 1860s: Scottish physicist, James Clerk Maxwell predicted
the existence of radio waves; and in 1886, German physicist,
Heinrich Rudholph Hertz demonstrated that rapid variations of
electric current could be projected into space in the form of radio
waves similar to those of light and heat.
In 1866: Mahlon Loomis, an American dentist, successfully
demonstrated "wireless telegraphy." Loomis was able to make a
meter connected to one kite cause another one to move, marking
the first known instance of wireless aerial communication.
Guglielmo Marconi: an Italian inventor, proved the feasibility of
radio communication. He sent and received his first radio signal in
Italy in 1895. By 1899 he flashed the first wireless signal across the
English Channel and two years later received the letter "S",
telegraphed from England to Newfoundland. This was the first
successful transatlantic radiotelegraph message in 1902.
