HISTORY and DEVELOPMENT
of JOURNALISM in the world

by: Georgina Isabel D. Balauro

 JOURNALISM
 Journalism is the collection, preparation, and distribution of
news and related commentary and feature materials through
printed and non-printed sources.

Journalism is the reporting, writing, editing, photographing, or

broadcasting of news.

 Its main activity is to report events – stating who, what, when,

where, why and how --- and explaining the significance and
effect of events or trends.
 HISTORY
 The earliest method of transmitting news began with word of mouth.

Journalism came from the French words “du jour” where “jour” means day
or diary.

 Acta Diurna was the earliest known journalistic product dating way back
before 59 BCE that circulated in ancient Rome.

 It was used to record important speeches and daily events which will be
hung in prominent places in the city for all to read and for those who were
able to read.
 HISTORY
 During the Tang Dynasty from 618 AD to 907 AD, China always prepared a court
report called bao that were distributed to government official with the purpose of
keeping them informed.

 The Roman Empire from Julius Ceasar onward recorded and distributed a daily
record of political news and acts to Roman colonies.

 The first regularly published newspaper was from Germany called Antwerp about
1602.

The first English newspaper was from 1622 was the Weekly Newes.

One of the first daily newspapers, The Daily Courant, appeared in 1702 that also had
the first female editor replaced for a couple of weeks.
 HISTORY
 In the 19th century in America, newspapers began functioning more
as private businesses.
In addition to news stories, there might be poetry, or fiction, or humor.
The invention of the movable type printing press attributed to
Johannes Gutenberg in 1456 that led to the dissemination of the Bible
and other printed books.
The first periodical printed was Mercurius Gallbelgicus that appeared
in Germany 1594.
 The first newspaper that publishes regularly was Oxford Gazette first
appeared in 1665 to avoid plague in London.
 HISTORY
 It is no surprise that journalism has met with government opposition
that attempted to impose censorship by placing restrictions and
taxes on publishers.

With the increase of literacy of the population and the introduction

of technology that improved printing and circulation, newspaper
publications saw their numbers explode.

Although there are still pockets of news censorship, for the most
part, journalistic freedom reigns.
 HISTORY
 There came the creation of magazine became widespread as well.
 Its earliest form was such aptly named periodicals as the Tattler and
Spectator that also included illustrated serials aimed specifically for
female audience.
 Slowly, news agencies formed to take the place of independent
publishers.
 Sooner or later, the print media was about to come head-to-head
with an entirely new form of news gathering – first is the telegraph and
then radio and television.
 Later on, the Internet was used for the long-distance transmission of
journalistic information.
 HISTORY
 Non-print media changed the dynamics of news gathering and
reporting altogether.
 It sped up all aspects of the process, making the news more timely
and relevant.
 Soon, technology became an integral part of journalism.
 There is also a new model of journalism once again that will likely
be the standard for the future.
 Early newspapers were in the habit of dividing the news sections
such as foreign and domestic, and opinion pages were as
common in the earliest news gazettes and sheets as they are
today.
 HISTORY
 Businesses quickly saw the advantages of advertising in
newspapers, so this has been a staple of newspapers since their
inception.
 Because of the cost of newsprint and ink was so high, as were the
machines on which the news was printed, cut, folded, and
distributed, stories were condensed to provide only the most basic
of information – most of which appeared in the first paragraph.
 today, it is universally accepted that the first paragraph of a news
story answers the basic questions of who, what, where, when and
why.
 HISTORY
The first foundation of journalists came in 1883 in England; the American
Newspaper Guild was organized in 1933.
 The first time that journalism was recognized as an area of academic study
was when it was introduced at the university level in 1879, where the
University of Missouri offered it as a four-year course of study. New York's
Columbia University followed suit in 1912, offering the study of journalism as a
graduate program.
And the world of journalism grew in leaps and bounds then. In-depth
reporting, economics and business, politics, and science all vied for the
attention of the public. Then came motion pictures and radio, and
eventually television and the need for refined and expert skills and
techniques grew exponentially.
 HISTORY
It has been the nature of journalism in the United States to champion social
responsibility, and that has not changed since the early 1700s.
Even today, media outlets and national newspapers are identified by their
social leanings – either liberal or conservative.
But, there are still many that present a fair and unbiased look at events that
are happening locally, nationally, and internationally, written and published
with the intent of informing the public and allowing them to make their own
decisions on an issue.
There were dark times in journalism that lent themselves to outright dishonest
and ultra-persuasive tactics to influence the public – using fear as a
motivator. Today this is labeled "yellow" journalism and it has a separate
history and place in journalism's past.
