jan 1, 206 BC - Dibao Newspaper in China
Description:
Dibao, literally “reports from the official residences”, were a type of publications issued by central and local governments in imperial China. They contained official announcements and news. Before the invention of moveable type printing they were hand-written or printed with engraved wooden blocks. Different sources place their first publication as early as the Han Dynasty (206 BC–220 AD) or as late as the Tang Dynasty (June 18, 618–June 4, 907).
