First Newspapers

      Some of the differences from the first newspapers created and the newspapers we have today are, the first newspaper has only one story to read compared to ours which has plenty stories to read and different categories to select them from. Another difference is in the ink we have machined newspapers from the computer now and use factories to press on paper in clear black ink. The first newspaper created was done in a ink that you can barely read cause of the darkness of the paper.

     Back when the first newspaper was created the government stepped in and shut down all prints of this newspaper. I don't think the government should have that much power today because they would almost be running our country in a dictatorship because, if the government just does not want to have more then 1 newspaper in a province/state, they could just shut down the rest. Personally i think this power should exist but never in 1 person decision to use this power, by having a group of guys agree on shutting this business down.

     I believe that the comparison of the first newspapers being compared to a news blog because, it's probably related by how a news blog runs mostly on one story which is the same as these first newspapers. I found this comparison surprising because I never thought about a newspaper ever looking the same as a blog.

     Newspapers are still being created today and some are wondering how come it has not run out of business yet. I believe that the newspaper are still used today because, when we look online in a small town and try to find news about anything, you could probably find some events that are gonna happen or has already occurred but in newspapers, you would be able to fine things such as local issues or cultural events.

     I am surprised at the fact that the first newspaper in Canada is in Halifax because I never really thought it would be on this side of Canada. Most things you heard in history being created in Canada always came from Ontario or Quebec or any of the big provinces compared to this little capital.
