what is the name of the first newspaper in the world ?and when /?

Answer 1

If you are asking about the first PRINTED newspaper the answer others have given (Johann Carolus's Strasbourg newspaper of 1605) qualifies. But if we allow handwritten newspapers using the same format, the date is pushed back to at least the mid-16th century in Venice.

"Newspapers published under the same name on a regular schedule first appeared in Venice, Italy, in the 16th century. Handwritten newspapers called avisi, or gazettes, appeared weekly as early as 1566. They reported news brought to Venice by traders, such as accounts of wars and politics in other parts of Italy and Europe. Venetian gazettes established a style of journalism that most early printed newspapers followed—short sets of news items written under the name of the city they came from and the date on which they were sent. The oldest surviving copies of European newspapers are of two weeklies published in German in 1609—one in Strassburg (now Strasbourg, France) by Johann Carolus, the other in Wolfenbüttel, Germany, by Lucas Schulte."

Note on the title of Carolus's newpaper -- "Relation" is misleading, since the German word has a different meaning from the English. It's fuller title was "Relation aller fürnemmen und gedenckwürdigen Historien" (Collection of all distiguished and commemorateable news)

As for the date, it was recently accepted as 1605, not 1609 as formerly thought.

Earliest handwritten Venetian newspaper I can find a record of was the Notizie scritte, a monthly newspaper first published by the Venetian govenment in 1556. Readers paid a “gazetta”, or small coin, for it. Hence the name "gazette" for such publications (and found in English newspaper names to this day).

Answer 3

Newspapers started to appear a pamphlets, produced in small numbers in Europe during the period known as the Renaissance (1400s) and were distributed privately amongst merchants and the like. But the first official "newspaper" written in English was not printed in Europe until 1666 and was called "The London Gazette."

In America the first newspaper to appear was called the "Publick Occurrences" and was published in Boston in 1690, but it wasn't approved and was quickly shutdown and all copies were burned. It was however replaced by the "Boston-Newsletter" in 1704.

"The Helios", THE WORLD’S FIRST NEWSPAPER

Historians around the world are this week celebrating a remarkable discovery in Athens – an ancient scroll that turned out to be a copy of the very first daily newspaper ever published. In fact, they are celebrating a double discovery, for not only was it the world’s first newspaper, but it was found wrapped around the world’s first fish and chips.

A team of scholars headed by Foundation historian Professor Ermintrude Postlethwaite of Izzard College, University of Cambridge (UK), have spent the last few days diligently translating the scroll from the original Greek into English, and have just completed an exact reconstruction of what the Ancient Greeks would have found on their doormats early one morning, many centuries ago. Below we reproduce an exclusive portion of this extraordinary document

The Acta diurna (Acta populi, or Acta publica) grew out of Julius Caesar's arrangements for the publishing of official business and matters of public interest. Under the empire (after 27 BC) the Acta diurna constituted a type of daily gazette, and thus it was, in a sense, the prototype of the modern newspaper.
