Write a paragraph explaining how the invention of the printing press and the circulation of early media forms shaped public opinion and influenced history.

     Printing press was invented for the purpose of copying papers. It shaped the public by being able to spread the word; which is also how the circulation of early media forms began. Being able to spread the word was much easier, bibles were made and other religious texts were made/copied. It shaped history because now we have newspapers, books and magazines- which wouldn't have happened if the printing press and media forms.
