Which is the first news bulletin of the printing history?

Question

I suppose that the answer's composed of two or three words. I've found sth called "Acta Diurna" published in Roman Times, but I guess it must be after the invention of the printing technique

Answer 1

The first printed newspaper was published in 1605, in U.K.
If you are talking about print, but if you want written then it was

the Koran or al-Qur'an (holy book of Islam) was written in 650 AD.
Veda (sacred scriptures of Hinduism) written 500 - 1000 BC
.
Tao-te-ching (Taoism book of Hindu philosophy) gradually written over time by numerous writers.

Bahagavad Gita (Indian Hindu epic poem) between 200 BC - 200 AD.

The Old Testament, of Hebrew origin, is the sacred scripture of Judaism and is the first portion of the Christian Bible. Written within the same period as the Hindu Vedas. Does that answer your question. If not, let your fingers do the searching! GOOGLE IS THE BEST!

Answer 2

There is some debate over which publication was the first newspaper because the definition of a newspaper has been flexible. In ancient Rome, acta diurna, or government announcement bulletins, were made public by Julius Caesar. They were carved on stone or metal and posted in public places. During the Tang Dynasty in China (618-906), the Kai Yuan Za Bao also published government news; it was block printed onto paper and mostly read by government officials. However, the World Association of Newspapers recognizes Johann Carolus’s Relation aller Fürnemmen und gedenckwürdigen Historie, published in 1605, as the world’s first newspaper. The Dutch Courante uyt Italien, Duytslandt, &c. of 1618 is also considered by some to be the first modern newspaper since the Relation looks more like a book than what is now considered a newspaper. The newspaper Opregte Haarlemsche Courant from Haarlem, first published in 1656, is considered by some to be the oldest continuously published newspaper, though it was forced to merge with the newspaper Haarlems Dagblad in 1942 by the German occupier. Since then the Harlems Dagblad appears with the subtitle Oprechte Haerlemse Courant 1656 and considers itself to be the oldest still-publishing newspaper in the world.
