From the 15th century onwards, the "occasional", widely distributed news items in the form of booklets or placards, multiplied. Of stereotyped presentation, with a formalized speech, they announce the great events as the miscellaneous facts, with a taste for the extraordinary.In 1631, the first French news periodicals appeared in the form of a chronological series of dispatches from European cities, notably the Gazette of Th?ophraste Renaudot. During this period, very much under the control of the royal power, the press develops slowly in the court societies. With "the Enlightenment", it experienced its first boom, marked by the first daily news paper, the Journal de Paris in 1777.
