		acta, public acts or records; diurnus, daily, from dies), called also Acta Populi, Acta Publica and simply Acta or Diurna, in ancient Rome a sort of daily gazette, containing an officially authorized narrative of noteworthy events at Rome.
		The origin of the Acta is attributed to Julius Caesar, who first ordered the keeping and publishing of the acts of the people by public officers (59 B.C.; Suetonius, Caesar, 20).
		The Acta differed from the Annals (which were discontinued in 133 B.C.) in that only the greater and more important matters were given in the latter, while in the former things of less note were recorded.

		ACTA SENATUS, Or Commentarii Senatus, minutes of the discussions and decisions of the Roman senate.
		Before the first consulship of Julius Caesar (59 B.C.), minutes of the proceedings of the senate were written and occasionally published, but unofficially; Caesar, desiring to tear away the veil of mystery which gave an unreal importance to the senate's deliberations, first ordered them to be recorded and issued authoritatively.
		A young senator (ab actis senatus) was chosen to draw up these Acta, which were kept in the imperial archives and public libraries.

		There were newspapers in 18th-century London, but if you wanted to find out what was going on in the wider world you generally did better to visit a coffeehouse.
		For practical purposes, the history of written journalism can be said to have begun in Rome, with two remarkable productions - the ''acta senatus,'' transactions of the senate, and the ''acta diurna,'' a daily summary of current events, including law reports and human interest stories.
		These were handwritten newssheets, published daily (over a period of nearly 300 years) by being posted up in public places.

		The earliest known newspaper, published in 59 B.C. in Rome, was called Acta Diurna (literally, ''The Portland Oregonian'').
		Unfortunately, Acta Diurna was not profitable, because every copy had to be entirely hand-written by slaves (called ''reporters''); if a major story broke, a huge hairy man (the ''editor'') would yell, ''Stop the presses!'' and whack them with a club.
		The first important financial advance for newspapers came in 1451 when Johann Gutenberg (literally, ''Joe Goodberg'') invented the printing press, which made it possible for a newspaper to cheaply and accurately reproduce every single error thousands of times.

		We definitely know of stone inscriptions of news and acts that were promptly posted in public from 5th century Greece, and I bet we have good evidence that these were simply elaborate and permanent versions of stuff that was routinely posted in wax tablets or on clay.
