The world’s first newspaper, Relation aller Furnemmen und gedenckwurdigen Historien , or “Relation,” was printed by Johann Carolus beginning in 1605.  The newspaper was published in the city of Strasbourg, a “free imperial city under the Holy Roman Empire of the German nation.” The newspaper was printed regularly so that citizens in the area could keep up with local news.  This image was sourced from Wikimedia Commons and is public domain.
