The newspaper Opregte Haarlemsche Courant from Haarlem, first published in 1656, is considered by some to be the oldest continuously published newspaper, though it was forced to merge with the newspaper Haarlems Dagblad in 1942 by the German occupier.
In the English-speaking world, Nathaniel Butter is often credited with the creation of the first news periodical in 1622. The earliest papers in the United Kingdom were devoted to politics and government proceedings. In 1702, the first daily newspaper called The Daily Courant was published. In 1704, the governor allowed the Boston News-Letter to be published and it became the first “continuously published” newspaper in the colonies. Soon after, weekly papers began publishing in New York and Philadelphia. These early newspapers followed the British format and were usually four pages long. They mostly carried news from Britain and content depended on the editor’s interests.
In 1783, the Pennsylvania Evening Post became the first American daily. By the early 19th century, many cities in Western and Eastern Europe, as well as North and South America, published newspaper-type publications though not all of them developed in the same way; content was vastly shaped by regional and cultural preferences.
Advances in printing technology during the Industrial Revolution were responsible for turning the newspaper into what it is today: a widely circulated means of communication. In 1814, The Times of London acquired a printing press capable of making 1,100 impressions per minute. Soon, it was adapted to print on both sides of a page at once. This innovation made newspapers cheaper and thus available to a larger part of the population.
In 1833, Benjamin Day printed the first penny press newspaper, The New York Sun (historical). Penny press papers cost about one sixth the price of other newspapers and appealed to a wider audience.
A daily newspaper is issued every day, sometimes with the exception of Sundays and some national holidays. Saturday and, where they exist, Sunday editions of daily newspapers tend to be larger, include more specialized sections and advertising inserts, and cost more. Typically, the majority of these newspapers' staff work Monday to Friday, so the Sunday and Monday editions largely depend on content done in advance or content that is syndicated.
Most daily newspapers are published in the morning. Afternoon or evening papers are aimed more at commuters and office workers.
