National Newspaper Week

 This year I am celebrating the fun National Weeks throughout the year.  This week is dedicated to Bella, who has been writing articles for her school newspaper.  Today starts National Newspaper Week.  This week recognizes newspapers and their employees.

Newspapers record events and are the first record of history.

Did you know?

The oldest published newspaper began in 1764, the Hartford Currant
Newspapers started out as weekly and monthly.  They did not become daily until the 1790's.
Newspapers reported biasedly and opinionatedly until 1923.  At that time The American Society of Newspaper Editors adopted the primary rule of journalism, "news reports should be free of opinion or bias of any kind."

How to observe #NationalNewspaperWeek

Thanks, Bella!  I enjoy reading your articles.
