4. The first newspaper publication was in Strasbourg Germany in 1605.
5. The oldest publication in the Thirteen Colonies was The Boston News-Letter in 1704. The first New-England Courant was published in 1721. The first newspaper publication after America was an actual country was The Boston Chronicle in 1768.
6. In The Wall Street Journal the first headline is "Dell to Buy EMC for $67 Billion". There is an article about terrorism in Libya below the first article. Above the articles is information about stocks and currency. Other things that receive attention throughout the newspaper include labor, foreign affairs in the U.S., terrorism, economics, buisness, world news, stocks, sports, and politics
7. Wikipedia says that a newspaper of record is "a major newspaper that has a large circulation and whose editorial and news-gathering functions are considered professional and typically authoritative." The New York times is the newspaper of record in the United States. The Times is considered the other newspaper of record in the U.S.
8. For daily news, I think that newspapers still have an edge over social media. Newspapers have a big bolded headline to catch your attention with the full article below. And it has enough articles in it to keep up with major news. When reading a newspaper you almost always have to read the whole article to get the news, but this is not the case with social media. Social media like Twitter has a shorter headline and the full article linked if you choose to read it. Social media also tells what the article talks about in its headline. Twitter also has constant updates to either get news fast, or read on the go. Sometimes an account will post some articles that they did not put in the newspaper. In short, newspapers have more in depth news and social media is fast paced news. It comes down to personal preference for which one you read.
