Hi dude! Hope you all doing good and I am very cheerful to see you all again here. And, at the moment I am going to share you all my acquaintance about Newspaper. The first regular newspaper established in London was the Intelligencer in 1663. Most early papers that were established could be published only once a week, because both communication and production were slow. The first American newspaper, publick occurrences, was started in Boston in 1690, but the governor of the colony quickly stopped it. Benjamin Franklin conducted the Pennsylvania Gazette from 1729 to 1765. The people were so eager to have newspapers that by the time of the American Revolution there were 37 of them being published in the Colonies! One of the most influential newspapers ever published is the London Times, which began to be published in 1785 as the Daily Universal Register.

Hi pals. Shorthand is the art of writing by means of signs that can be made quickly. These signs which are not the same as words, can be read later by a person who knows the system. Today, the word shorthand is used to describe this method, but it has also been called stenography and tachygraphy and branchygraphy. You may think that the idea of shorthand is a modern invention, but it is actually about 2000 years old! In ancient Roman times, men like Cicero and Seneca were making great speeches in the Roman senate. A man named Tiro, in 63 B.C., invented a system of shorthand for taking down these speeches. His system was so good that it was taught in the Roman schools. It was learned by the emperors, and remained in use for hundreds of years. It was based on the use of initials, which made it a kind of abbreviation. In this system, a consonant could be written so it slanted in three different directions, and according to this direction it indicated the vowel which followed it.
