THE HISTORY OF JOURNALISM

FIRST FORM OF NEWS By 59 B.C., the Romans hand-copied news sheets called Acta Diurna (Daily Acts) that were posted around the city.

MASS PRODUCTION Johann Gutenberg invented the printing press (using moveable type) in 1440 during the 15 th century. This process enabled mass production of newspapers. The first book?

THE BRITISH PRESS In 1476, King Edward IV allowed William Caxton to approve the first British press. The production of newspapers brought culture to the country in the form of literature.

FIRST AMERICAN PAPER Benjamin Harris produced the first and only issue of Publick Occurrences Both Forreign and Domestick in 1690

FIRST CONTINUOUS NEWSPAPER The Boston News-Letter premiered on April 24, 1704 by John Campbell. It was the first successful American newspaper.

DON’T GO AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT Peter Zenger published the New York Weekly Journal in Zenger was accused and tried for libe l against the colonial British government in In this picture, Zenger is arrested and his printing press is burned by Colonial authorities.

TRUTH IS A DEFENSE Zenger was found innocent. The Zenger case established that truth is a defense against a libel charge. For the first time it was allowed and encouraged for the press to question and criticize the government.

FIRST AMENDMENT Freedom of the press, religion, speech, assembly and petition. It was adopted December of 1791.

In 1830, the content of newspapers to were aimed at the lower class, reporting local news, sports, crime and human interest stories.

BENJAMIN DAY Foldable Notes

A NEW FORM OF COMMUNICATION The telegraph was perfected by Samuel Morse and proved that signals could be transmitted by wire in Reporters were able to send encoded news back to their papers as it was happening. In 1844, the “inverted pyramid” form of writing was introduced.  the most important facts at the beginning of the story  created because news was often cut off when sent through the telegraph.

In 1851 Henry Raymond founded The New York Times. It is one of Americas most responsible and respected publication to date. THE NEW YORK TIMES

THE FATHER OF PHOTOJOURNALISM The Civil War era brought “new” technology to the publishing industry. Photography became a popular addition to newspapers. Matthew Brady set up a camera on the battlefields and photographed the soldiers at war. Him and his team captured more than 10,000 images of conflict. Two men were need to take a photo. It took several minutes for photos to develop. They had to mix chemicals, pour on a glass plate and then wait for it to evaporate.

YELLOW JOURNALISM JOSEPH PULITZER NEW YORK WORLD WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST NEW YORK JOURNAL I'm Poor I'm Illiterate I'm Bald I don’t have shoes This isn't my shirt I represent you!

YELLOW JOURNALISM AT ITS FINEST YELLOW KID DRAWINGS: After Pulitzer began publishing color comic sections that included a strip entitled "The Yellow Kid" drawn by R.F. Outcault in early 1896, this type of paper was labeled " yellow journalism.” Although the two men did serious reporting, Yellow journalism relied on exaggerated headlines to sell papers. Sensational news Loud headlines Stories on sex, scandal and sin Lavish use of pictures Rumors disguised as news

THE CAUSE OF WAR To increase circulation both Hearst and Pulitzer started to include articles about the Cuban Insurrection. “Blood in the field, Blood in the dumpsters, Blood, Blood, Blood!” The New York Journal blames Spain for a mysterious explosion that sank the USS Maine in Havana Harbor, Cuba. That helps push the United States into war with Spain. The newspaper war between Hearst and Pulitzer was thought to be the cause of the Spanish-American War. Allegedly Hearst said, “You furnish the pictures, I’ll furnish the war.”

EARLY 1900S AND SOCIAL REFORM Journalists and writers expose injustice, fraud and political corruption in government and big business Satirical Cartoons become popular for newspapers to comment on current events
