The first Newspaper was probably the Tsign Pao (News of the Capital) a court journal published in Peking. It is said to have started as early as the 500s, and continued publication until 1935. In the beginning, it was printed from carved wooden blocks and was published by the Chinese Government to inform people of important events. There was also a Government "newspaper" in ancient Rome. It recorded current events and was called the Acta Diuran (Daily Events). By the 16th century, people were paying for newspaper.
