World’s oldest newspaper now exists only online

OldestNewspaper

It’s a sign of the times. The world’s oldest newspaper, which has been in circulation since 1645 and founded by Sweden’s Queen Kristina, has dropped its paper edition and now exists only online!

It’s called Post-och Inrikes Tidningar and became a Web-only publication on January 1, 2007.

The first editions, which were more like pamphlets, were carried by courier and posted on note boards in cities and towns throughout Sweden. Today, Post-och Inrikes Tidningar, which means “mail and domestic tidings,” runs legal announcements by corporations, courts and certain government agencies — about 1,500 a day.

Here’s the Wikipedia entry about this newspaper.
