Johann Carolus's Relation aller Fürnemmen und gedenckwürdigen Historien, published in 1605 in Strassburg, is often recognized as the first newspaper. The first successful English daily, the Daily Courant, was published from 1702 to 1735.
The first regularly published newspaper (as opposed to the earlier "new books", published in 8 to 24 page quarto formats) in English was the Oxford Gazette ( later the London Gazette and published continually ever since), which first appeared in 1665. It began publication while the British Royal court was in Oxford to avoid the plague in London and was published twice a week.
When the court moved back to London, the publication moved with it. An earlier news book, the Continuation of Our Weekly News, had been published regularly in London since 1623.
The first daily newspaper, the Daily Courant, appeared in 1702 and continued publication for more than 30 years. Its first editor was also the first woman in journalism, although she was replaced after only a couple of weeks. by this time, the British had adopted the Press Restriction act, which required that the printers name and place of publication be included on each printed document.

Journalism dates atleast from the Acta Diurna of Rome ( a series of public announcements that can be considered the prototype of the modern newspaper), but it was not until the 15th century that the invention of printing made possible its rapid growth.
