Short history & growth of newspapersAmrit Dhakal
The Roman Empire published Acta Diurna ("Daily Acts"), or government announcement bulletins, around 59 BC, as ordered by Julius Caesar. In China, early government-produced news sheets, called tipao, were commonly used among court officials during the late Han dynasty (2nd and 3rd centuries AD).
This presentation argues that the ONLY difference between the first world countries and the third world countries is that of 'attitude'. The argument is supported by facts and startling statistics.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

17. Technological factors:
•Convergence of new media with the old one
•Emerging trend of epapers and ebooks
•Websites and easy access to information
•A heterogeneous society not compatible
to use online resources

constriction of print media outlets in
Pakistan.
18. Print Media Conglomerates of Pakistan
•Political affiliations.
•The government has considerable leverage over the print media
through its substantial budget for advertising and public interest
campaigns.
•For example, the country's leading Urdu daily, Jang, and the English-
language daily News, both owned by Shakil Ur-Rehman, were cut off
for a time from critical government advertising revenue after publishing
articles unflattering to the government. The Jang Group was also
served with approximately US $13 million in tax notices, harassed by
government inspectors, and pressured not to publish articles. Jang
also reportedly had difficulty obtaining sufficient newsprint to publish.

20. Benedict Anderson’s theory of Print Culture
Nationalism is the inevitable result of the Gutenberg
Revolution — Marshall McLuhan, Benedict Anderson
Marshall McLuhan, later followed by Elizabeth Eisenstein and
Benedict Anderson, derive Nationalism from the introduction of
printing technology into a society.
the printing press and its associated social, economic, and
cultural practices — produces nationalism.
The very existence and regularity of newspapers caused readers,
and thus citizens-in-the-making, to imagine themselves residing
in a common time and place, united by a print language with a
league of anonymous equals.
21. •According to Anderson, a new emerging nation imagines itself to
be antique.
•He considers the nation-building mythology and national myths of
the ‘origin‘ in rather functionalist terms—they are more invented
narratives than real stories.
•The rise of nationalism is in Anderson's mind closely connected
with the growth of printed books and with the technical
development of print as a whole.
•Conclusively, placing this theory in Pakistani context it is quite
clear that the prevalence of print culture is directly proportional to
nationalism.
22. Conclusion- future prospects of
Print media in Pakistan
Pakistan’s market for print media has undergone significant changes
in the past decade. In 1997 the total number of daily, monthly, and
minor publications was 4,455 but by 2003, six years later, only 945
remained.
Based on these facts it is not difficult to predict the future prospects
of print media in Pakistan.
