The professional holiday of media workers was first established in the USSR. The Day of the Soviet Press was celebrated on May 5 to commemorate the release in 1912 of the first issue of the mass Pravda.
In December 1991, it was decided to postpone Press Day from May 5 to January 13, timed to coincide with the release in Moscow on that day of the first Russian printed newspaper, Vedomosti.
On December 26, 1702, Peter I issued a decree on the establishment of the first newspaper to "notify it of foreign and domestic incidents ...". It was based on the handwritten sheets "Messages, or Chimes", published since 1621. They were compiled in the Posolsky Prikaz specifically for the tsar and courtiers based on materials from foreign publications. First number new newspaper, published in Moscow on January 13, 1703, was called: "Vedomosti about military and other matters worthy of knowledge and memory that happened in the Moscow State and in other surrounding countries."
The newspaper reported on the successes of the Russian army, the development of the fleet, the expansion of trade, the newly discovered ore deposits and the construction of factories. Information was also printed from foreign newspapers. Peter I edited the first issues of Vedomosti himself, and later was one of its main correspondents.
Initially, the newspaper was published at the Printing House in Moscow. The text was usually typed in one column without headings; almost no margins were left to save space. Until 1710, Vedomosti was printed in Church Slavonic type, later it was replaced by civil type, at the same time they began to decorate the newspaper with engraving. The first editor of Vedomosti was Fedor Polikarpov, director of the Moscow Printing House. And the first Russian reporter can be considered Yakov Sinyavich, who, by order of the tsar, covered the chronicle of court life.
In 1703-1704, 39 issues of Vedomosti were published, and in 1705 - already 46. The format of the newspaper was set to 1/8 of a sheet, but individual issues were printed on the whole. Outwardly, the newspaper looked like a small book from 2 to 22 pages. Its name has changed several times - "Vedomosti", "Moscow Vedomosti", "Russian Vedomosti", "Relation", etc.
From 1711, Vedomosti was published alternately in Moscow and St. Petersburg. After the death of Peter I in 1727, the publication of the newspaper was stopped. But a year later, "Sankt-Peterburgskiye Vedomosti" began to appear, one of the editors of which was M.V. Lomonosov. The publication of the newspaper was discontinued in 1917. IN modern Russia the publication with the name "Vedomosti" has been published since 1999. This is a business newspaper with a total circulation of about 70,000 copies.
By the beginning of the 20th century, 916 newspapers and 1351 magazines were already published in Russia. In 1904, the first state agency was created in Russia - the St. Petersburg Telegraph Agency (the historical predecessor of ITAR-TASS).
After 1917, there were 884 newspapers and 753 magazines in Russia. With each decade, the number printed publications increased: in 1940 there were 1822 magazines and 8806 newspapers, in 1989 - 5295 magazines and 8532 newspapers.
In the 1990s, the publishing industry was in decline. However, in Lately the number of media in the country is growing. According to Rospechat, about 100,000 funds are registered in Russia today. mass media, of which about 40 thousand - newspapers, 16 thousand - electronic media. Among the leaders of the rating of the most cited publications in 2013 are still such newspapers as Vedomosti, Izvestia, Russian newspaper", "Moscow's comsomolets", " TVNZ", "Arguments and Facts".
The profession of a journalist remains one of the most dangerous both in peacetime and in war time. During the Great Patriotic War, 1,500 war correspondents were killed. The exact number of dead journalists in Afghanistan is unknown. In Chechnya, 25 journalists were killed during hostilities. According to the Glasnost Defense Foundation, 4 Russian journalists were killed in 2013.
Traditionally, on the days of the professional holiday, annual journalistic awards are presented, in particular, the awards of the President of the Russian Federation in the field of media and grants to support the most significant creative projects young journalists.
January 13 is considered a special holiday for media workers. And although it is officially called the Day of the Russian Press, it is celebrated not only by journalists from print publications, but also by television and radio companies, as well as online media.
In our time, Russian Press Day is celebrated on January 13th. Until 1991, the holiday was celebrated in the USSR on May 5: on the day of the release of the first issue of the Pravda newspaper.
In 1991, the Press Day was postponed, got a new name, and another reason for the celebration was chosen - the day of the publication of the first Russian-language printed newspaper Vedomosti, founded by decree of Peter I.
Organ of the Pskov Provincial Committee V.K.P. (b) - Sputnik Bolshevik magazine No. 4 for 1927 calls on Komsomol members and Bolsheviks to celebrate Press Day in a significant year - 10 years of the existence of the Pravda newspaper and the Soviet press in general.
Building a new life requires the involvement of the broad masses, and the press is the most important tool for achieving this goal. The magazine covers a lot of political and everyday topics, but we'll take a look at the section that teaches you how to celebrate Press Day. It is titled very specifically "How to do it?" and contains clear ideological guidelines and an action plan.
The plan for holding the "Press Day" was adopted at a meeting of the secretariat of the Pskov Provincial Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks and recorded in protocol No. 26/30.
In the first place are the tasks of the Bolsheviks.
Ideological: explaining to the worker and peasant masses the importance of the press in the struggle of the working class; revealing the importance of the press in the areas of state, economic and cultural construction; involvement of the masses in social and political life through the press (creating a network of people's correspondents, holding reader's conferences, etc.)
What does the sponge committee offer for the celebration? Meetings! To reach the masses as widely as possible! They must be held in collectives and trade unions, clubs and circles of various directions. Rural, urban and industrial newspapers should come out with a selection of holiday materials and instructions for holding the holiday at the local level. 
Dates have been set: May 5 in the city, May 15 in the countryside; so that the leaders of the party and the Komsomol have time to take part in more festive meetings and meetings.
They should be presented with historical, explanatory and reporting reports of the editorial boards of wall newspapers and editorial offices. The meetings should be accompanied by various cultural events.
In the editorial boards of newspapers of any level, reports and re-elections of the leadership must be carried out.
Two important points of encouragement: awards for successful publications and traveling trade- to bring printed matter closer to the reader.
"Hut-reading room" and a wall newspaper modern man you won’t be surprised yet, but the party line, the workers’ correspondent or the workers’ correspondent in general, the rural movement already seem exotic.
The instructions for holding the holiday are completed by the instruction: “to all Ukoms and District Committees of the CPSU, submit a full report on the results of the press day to the APO of the Provincial Committee of the CPSU by June 10th.”
Further, the journal publishes almost bibliographic material - a list of books and articles "What to read about printing." Headings "History of the workers' press", "History of the capitalist press", "Selkor movement", and among the authors - Zinoviev, Ryklin, Bonch-Bruevich. The information received will equip the Bolshevik with knowledge and arguments for disputes with still backward comrades.
The block devoted to the celebration of Press Day ends with a rather lengthy document "Resolution of the 3rd Provincial Meeting of Workers' Correspondents on the Organizational Question." Military correspondents and yunkors were also present there. The meeting of workers' and rural correspondents finds that voluntary associations work rather weakly, it is necessary to intensify actions, increase social significance, and expand their membership. The meeting warns against being carried away by the appearance and embellishment of wall newspapers and attracting alien, clinging elements into one's ranks.
Among the measures aimed at promoting the ideas of the party to the masses, and in connection with the increasingly difficult world situation, it is proposed to increase the sense of responsibility of social activists, protect worker correspondents who are prevented from working, conduct studies and political information, fight for the quality of materials (for example, the fight against cheating), and most importantly - expanding the movement and explaining to the masses the significance of the work carried out by the workers' corporal movement.

Printing day, with which half my life is connected - my uninterrupted newspaper experience began in August 1969, and ended somewhere around 2010.
Episodic inclusions in the press, starting from 1965, I don’t even think, they were very episodic and were interrupted by either studies, voyages to the North with work on local radios, or absolutely incredible activities in various areas of life - from a librarian and laboratory assistant to erector of metal structures at the construction of the Topkinsky cement plant.
Or a loader of an inter-district wholesale base. By the way, I really liked being a loader: I carried everything in the world: boxes of fruit and wine, bags of sugar and rice, various furniture, children's toys, fabrics, shoes, iron sheets and everything else that is in the world. For example, frozen fish in briquettes and cow carcasses - separately. And also rolls with roofing felt, which he carried on his shoulder, and rolls of wrapping paper, huge, which he rolled and deftly unfolded, running into a log.
Being a loader was good and carefree. The end of each shift was marked by the drinking of wine, which we called "kerosene" because of its color. Wine was given to us as a trophy for saving "battle": for every wagon with bottled wine, it was supposed to write off a number of broken bottles there, it seems, a box, that is, 20 pieces. Ten bottles really broke on a long journey, half of the rest was taken by the attendants, and the rest, five bottles, sometimes more, was the well-deserved fee of the movers, and we, having refreshed ourselves from a hose with tap water, enjoyed relaxing in some railway. dead end...
But even in the loaders, the dream of newspaper work did not leave me. I have already tested the temptation. First notes printed. I read my name on a newspaper page - and it seems to me to this day that there is nothing sweeter than that in the world.
So it got infected.
I liked everything about the paper.
Her special jargon. Well, let's say, an order from the secretariat to a literary employee (there used to be literary workers, and not like now - correspondents, columnists, editors and others): "Make thirty lines for a lantern" - this is Swahili for the uninitiated, but for old newspapermen a banality.
The smell of typography. Not only printing ink, but the smell of hot metal and the breath of the linotype shop, the ringing of such typesetting things that accompany the translation of your text from a manuscript into metal lines.
And then the appearance of this text during layout - in a mirror image, which you quickly learn to read, as if you always did it.
And the names of the header fonts, brothers! This is music! "Corinne", "Grotesque", "Baltika", "Antiqua" and dozens of others. Now everything is reduced to one or two. Not interested. And then there were even several text fonts: “borges”, “petite”, “corpus”, “nonpareil”, “cicero” ...
A decade of work in a mining town under construction (minus two army years, but there I served in a divisional newspaper, formally as a proofreader, but in fact a jack of all trades - from literary editing to page layout) gave me a gigantic worldly experience. I would say, an exotic experience of quenched curiosity: we, the ubiquitous and multi-nimble, have been everywhere - today in the mining face of a mine or a coal pit, tomorrow at a drilling hydraulic fracturing, or even at a logging site, in an excavator cab, in the workshop of large-panel parts of a house-building plant, in short, everywhere and everywhere. The city was small and consisted of acquaintances: you go to work in the morning and bow your head in greeting - everyone knows you, and you know everyone.
We liked to celebrate Print Day in nature. We went to the river Barzas to the footbridge. A fire was lit on a warm verge and lard and sausage were fried on twigs. In a nearby swamp, a heap of flasks was cut. Vovka Ivanov drilled holes in birch trees with a brace, inserted straws into them, and they poured out abundant juice. We, sinful people, washed down vodka with them - as without it.
Now there are many journalistic holidays - in winter, in autumn, I don’t remember any of them. May 5 is forever...
The newspaper "Pravda" was founded by V. I. Lenin in 1912. Pravda is the most massive and popular Soviet newspaper. Together with the Communist Party, it traveled a long historical path in the struggle for the victory of the socialist revolution, for the building of socialism, playing the role of a collective agitator, propagandist, and organizer of the working people.
