Many of us read news every day. It’s probably because we’d like to know what’s happening in the world. Today we can get news from TV or the Internet, but how did ancient people get news?

At the very beginning, information spread by word of mouth. People living in groups got news from neighbors or travelers. Ancient Romans (罗马人) changed the way people knew about their communities. They posted a list of daily happenings at public squares in the cities.

The 15th century saw big progress in printing (印刷) technology in the West. The progress brought a sudden rise of news business. In the 16th century, the first real newspapers appeared. People started to develop the habit of reading newspapers. They liked to share their opinions in newspapers. The invention of telegraph (电报) machines led to another big step in history. News stories were sent to the papers in minutes instead of weeks.
