3. The history of mass media can be traced back to the days when
dramas were performed in various ancient cultures. This was
the first time when a form of media was "broadcast" to a wider
audience. The first dated printed book known is the Diamond
Sutra, printed in China in 868 AD, although it is clear that books
were printed earlier. Movable clay type was invented in 1041 in
China. However, due to the slow spread of literacy to the
masses in China, and the relatively high cost of paper there, the
earliest printed mass-medium was probably European popular
prints from about 1400. Although these were produced in huge
numbers, very few early examples survive, and even most
known to be printed before about 1600 have not survived. The
term "mass media" was coined with the creation of print media,
which is notable for being the first example of mass media, as
we use the term today. This form of media started in Europe in
the Middle Ages.
HISTORY OF MASS MEDIA

4. Johannes Gutenberg's invention of the printing press allowed the mass production of
books to sweep the nation. He printed the first book, a Latin Bible, on a printing
press with movable type in 1453. The invention of the printing press gave rise to some of
the first forms of mass communication, by enabling the publication of books and
newspapers on a scale much larger than was previously possible. The invention also
transformed the way the world received printed materials, although books remained too
expensive to be called a mass-medium for at least a century after that.
Newspapers developed in the seventeenth century, with the first published weekly in
Germany from 1609, but they took until the nineteenth century to reach a mass-audience
directly. The first high-circulation newspapers arose in London in the early 1800s, such
as The Times, and were made possible by the invention of high-speed rotary steam
printing presses, and railroads which allowed large-scale distribution over wide
geographical areas. The increase in circulation, however, led to a decline in feedback
and interactivity from the readership, making newspapers a more one-way medium
