    Yes there were, there were news pamphlets which reported on the newsworthy events of the times - or periodicals.

    They were called correspondents then tho'.

    They contained much of the stuff that is in a newspaper today.

    A mixture of news, gossip and adverts etc.

    The world doesn't change much to be honest- people worry about the same things throughout the ages.

    yes we have had journalists for a lot longer than that

    as prior to 1952

    we only had a queen Elizabeth

    no queen Elizabeth 1

    then in February 1952 on the death of her father King George VI.

    the present Queen Elizabeth ascended the throne

    who became Queen Elizabeth 2

    giving our Queen Elizabeth of 1558 to 1603

    the title of Queen Elizabeth 1

    Hardly anybody could read in those days, so newspapers would have been pointless.
