…the roots of this can be found in the widespread view of the world as a battleground between God and the Devil, and people's intense interest in events in distant lands.

This was the beginning of British journalism.

From [Mass Communication]

...Communication that transmits a large amount of information to the masses using mass media (media that mass-produce uniform content, such as newspapers and magazines printed on high-speed rotary presses, radio, television, and movies). There are also translations such as "mass communication" and "mass report," but the Japanese-specific contraction "mass komimi" is more commonly used, and in this case it can also refer to the sender that produces the information (newspaper companies, publishers, broadcasting stations, etc.). Mass media is characterized by its speed, large number of recipients, and one-way flow of information. On the other hand, the opposite concept based on the number of recipients is the Japanese-English word "mini-komimi," personal communication, which is two-way in contrast to the one-way nature of mass media, and word of mouth, which refers to a person's direct address to another person through the media of mass media.

Initially, it was published twice a week, on Thursdays and Fridays. …
