Cost of Newspapers in 1585?

Question

How much did newspapers cost in Europe in 1585?

Answer 1

I don't remember! It's been a long time!! I think two sand dollars!

Answer 2

nothing, they did not exist. Reading material was usually religious and you had to be wealthy in order to read and buy a book.

The first printed newspaper was published in 1605, and the form has thrived even in the face of competition from technologies such as radio, television, and the internet. Recent developments on the internet are, however, posing major challenges to the business model of many newspapers. Paid circulation is declining in most countries, and advertising revenue, which makes up the bulk of most newspapers' income, is shifting from print to online, resulting in a general decline in newspaper profits. This has led to some predictions that newspapers’ role in society will shrink or even disappear, although historically, new media technologies such as radio and television never supplanted print media.

Answer 4

You may not be able to purchase these newspapers, if sources let you it would be a bit of money. But try the biggest library in your city, first check it out online then you can go to it. Find information on the topic maybe by books, and computers but there is no harm in trying a certain pawn shop, just look for stores online then phone then go check it out!
Best of luck!
