History

The printing of a newspaper in Modena had occurred for a very short time from 6 July 1658 to about the 10 August of the same year. [lower-alpha 1] After 1658 no other newspaper was printed in the Duchy of Modena until a printer named Demetrio Degni started on 1677 the publishing of a gazette in that town, titled simply Modona (an archaic form of Modena). [2] The first number still in existence is dated 28 April 1677. [1] it was issued on a weekly basis, in about book paper size. It contained news from Italy and abroad, giving large space to news from Vienna, Hungary and Poland.

Demetrio Degni was born in Barletta in 1648. In 1671 he moved to Modena where he set a typography up. Along the typography he had a stationery shop to sell books and paper. He used to issue special numbers of his gazette to cover particular events, mainly reports of military battles, diplomatic notes and treaties. He printed also a specialized newspaper titled Giornale dal campo cesareo (in English: newspaper from the encampment of the Emperor ) to follow the Great Turkish War. [2]

Because of problems with the censorship, an order was issued by the government of Modena on 14 July 1701 to suspend the publication of the newspaper Modona. [3] :66 Demetrio Degni left Modena and moved to Cesena where he continued to publish a gazette. In 1713 he moved to Pesaro, his year of death is unknown. [2]

Notes

History of British newspapers

The history of British newspapers dates to the 17th century with the emergence of regular publications covering news and gossip. The relaxation of government censorship in the late 17th century led to a rise in publications, which in turn led to an increase in regulation throughout the 18th century. The Times began publication in 1785 and became the leading newspaper of the early 19th century, before the lifting of taxes on newspapers and technological innovations led to a boom in newspaper publishing in the late 19th century. Mass education and increasing affluence led to new papers such as the Daily Mail emerging at the end of the 19th century, aimed at lower middle-class readers.
