This is pure fantasy ,you know!. There were no newspapers then!. Be sure you point that out to your classmates when you make the presentation!.Kids that are only half paying attention get confused easily!.
A newspaper name!? How about "The Town Crier"!. The Crier or Watchman called out the time and any official news in towns and cities from the medieval period right up to the early 19th century when they were outmoded by pocket watches and newspapers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Knightly Gazette; Last nights news today !
The Crusader; We search out the News !
Hard Times; If it's tough news, its in here !
The Swordsman; One swipe cuts the news !
The Archer; We make it all up and you believe it !

the last one could be a small time politician turned author that tells lies and gets a jail term !!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not sure why someone gave the person a thumbs down for the post above mine, because he is right!.

There were no newspapers in medieval times, for 2 very big reasons!.

1) 99% of the population could not read!. So who would buy it!?

2) The printing press had not been invented!. It would not be invented until the 15th Century, by a German named Gutenberg!. Who made a fortune, because up until this time, every book had to be written by hand!. This took an extremely long time!. The printing press devised by Gutenberg could produce books at a speed unheard of for the time!.

So any newspaper would have to be written over and over again, for each copy, which would take a pain stakingly long time, and then who would want to buy it, because generally speaking the only person who could read it would be the person who wrote it!. LOL!.

But lets imagine, people could read, and there were enough Priests to make copies of the newspaper!.

A good name in my opinion would be,

- The Town crier

or perhaps sticking with the theme of the Priests (being the ones who will write out the paper)

- The Church Times
- The Herald
- The Daily Sermon
- The Preacher
- The Daily GospelWww@QuestionHome@Com
