The first week of 2007 was the week that saw the world’s oldest newspaper (361 years) cease to exist…in print that is. That’s right, the Swedish daily - Post-och Inrikes Tidningar, lives on…on-line.
This was posted by Jeff Jarvis on his popular media blog Buzzmachine whose b&w header photo of rolling mill-type machinery from the industrial age fits this story to a T.
Jarvis cites Media Culpa a Swedish blog, as his source; who in turn link to the WAN - World Association of Newspapers website showing a list of the oldest newspapers still in print.
