The news was spread only by mouth. And later, people began to write newspapers. But the first newspapers were written by hand and put up on the walls in public places. The first daily newspaper was started in Rome in 59 BC. Europe didn't have regularly published newspapers until 1609, when one was started in Germany.      The first regularly published newspaper in English language was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In the next year, an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily English newspaper was the Daily Courant. It came out in March 1702.      In 1609, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was first published, the government stopped the paper. Five years later, John Com bell started the Boston newsletter, and the first newspaper was published daily in the American colonies(殖民地).      By 1765, the colonies had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1800 daily papers in the United States.      Today, newspapers are published everywhere. To many people, they can't go without reading newspapers for a day. As a group, however, English language newspapers have the largest circulation (销售量) in the world. But the largest circulation of a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Asihimbun. It sells more than eleven million copies every day.
