In the 17 century, the emergence of the newspaper purpose not only provided news on local issues but also served governance through disseminating information that would be important to its citizens. In the twentieth century, the newspapers were mostly owned by wealthy barons similar to today’s mega media conglomerates. As common curiosity and intrigue is natural to human behavior, gossip drew more attention than the news thus the newspapers equally began reporting gossip that would more often be advantageous with political influence and opposition.
