As early as the 13th century in the West, the need for people to receive information led to the emergence of new enterprises engaged in the publication of news letters. The invention of the printing press in the 15th century brought about revolutionary changes not only in the history of printing and publishing but also in the history of culture. In Europe, which was undergoing profound social, cultural, and geographical changes, news letters gradually gave way to modern newspapers. The article investigates the reasons behind the significant changes in the concepts of statehood and nationalism, the implementation of reforms, the renaissance in various fields, and the rise of diplomatic relations, which created the need for societies to receive news from beyond their geographic borders. The study also examines the transformation of some newspapers into transnational ones, expanding their influence across the globe. The article further explores global television networks and their development prospects. The study delves into significant advancements in television technology, the introduction of color television broadcasts, the expansion of broadcast types, and the implementation of broadcasts via Radio-Link and satellites. In conclusion, the research finds that although traditional media has lost some of its former power due to the influence of new media, it continues to survive as a primary source of information that people still trust.
