On the continent, however, around the year 1600 all the necessary technical, infrastructural and communication elements were already in place for the development of the modern newspaper. Book-printing techniques enabled the mass production of news reports; a regular relay post system, available to the general public, served the needs of a network of professional correspondents from around the world. The time was right for the first periodical news sheet, which appeared in Strassburg in 1605. The change from hand-copied to printed newspapers was of far-reaching significance, as the mass circulation of news gave regular publicity to the events and personalities of political life. By the 1620s a variety of newspapers were circulating in central Europe, and in the second half of the seventeenth century newspapers were the most widely read secular material. They provided a seedbed for the broadening political education which fostered the development of the Enlightenment. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: © 2019 German History Society. item: German History holder: Oxford University Press / USA dt: @attributes: year: 2006 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
