Newspaper Exhibits Post

3. A newspaper is defined as "a set of large sheets of paper that have news stories, information about local events, advertisements, etc., and that are folded together and sold every day or every week". 
4. The first newspaper that came into existence by Germany was in 1609.
5. The very oldest newspapers in the United States was The Boston News-Letter, The New-England Courant, The New Hampshire Gazette, and The Hartford Courant.
6. The New York Times shows their leading stories as things going on in Russia, ISIS, the 2016 election, and planned parenthood. 
7. The meaning of the newspaper of record is a “major newspaper that has a large circulation and whose editorial and news-gathering functions are considered professional and typically authoritative”. The US newspaper that was first designated as the nation’s newspaper of record in 1913 was The New York Times. Other US papers that are considered to be a newspaper of record Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post.
8. Their are many differences between newspapers and social media. One big difference between the two is that a newspaper is written on paper, and social media is written online. When you think of social media people think of Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, ect. All of these social medias are used as tools of viewing news just like a newspaper exhibits but faster and more efficiently. Any mobile device or device with wifi can tell you what is going on through social media without needing to look at a newspaper. They are used to keep people updated just like The New York Times and USA Today online does. News is more updated when it is published online because it keeps you more updated on the go. In the old days for news to be updated on a newspaper they would have to reprint it and hand out the Extra newspaper. Social media keeps people more updated by a push of a button because it is constantly being talked about on TV, Twitter, and other significant social medias. Just like the how picking a song on your phone is difference between having a song being played on the radio. Your more interested in the song the radio plays rather than choosing it yourself. The music playing shows the difference between looking at a newspaper different from social media.
