Oldest Newspaper

The world’s oldest newspaper, Sweden’s Post och Inrikes Tidningar (Post and Domestic Newspapers), has embraced the digital age, ending its run as a print publication and opting to be published exclusively on the Internet.

The paper was founded in 1645 by Queen Christina and was a staple for readers in Sweden throughout the late 17th and 18th century. While the paper has not covered news stories for more than 100 years, the World Association of Newspapers recognises it as the world’s oldest still in publication. Link
