1、Every day, the news of the world is relayed to people by over 300 million copies of daily papers, over 400 million radio sets, and over 150 million television sets. Additional news is shown by motion pictures in theaters and cinemas all over the world. As more people learn what the important events of the day are, fewer are still concerned exclusively with the events of their own household. As the English writer John Donne put is, nearly 400 hundred years ago, “no man is an island.” This idea is more appropriate today than it was when Donne lived. In short, wherever he lives, a man belongs to some society; and we are becoming more and more aware of whatever happens in one particular society affects, somehow, the life and destiny of all humanity.
Newspaper has been published in the modern world for about four hundred years. Most of the newspapers printed today are read in Europe and North America. However, soon they may be read in all parts of the world, thanks to the new inventions that are changing the techniques of newspaper publishing.
Electronics and automation have made it possible to produce pictures and text far more quickly than before. Therefore, the publishing of newspaper and magazines becomes more economical. Furthermore, photo-copies can be sent over great distance now by means of television channels and satellites such as Telstar. Thus, pictures can be brought to the public more quickly than previously.
