Signs of life after print
Filed in Web Warehouse on Jan.06, 2007
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.
An Internet Hit list?
