History of printing and publishing in Dhaka

It can not be said with certainty where the first printing press was set up in Bangladesh. It is conjectured that the first printing press in Bangladesh was in Rangpur during 1847, about away from Dhaka. The first printed piece from this printing press was a weekly newspaper named ''Rangapur Barttabaha'' (''রঙ্গপুর বার্ত্তাবহ'') in August 1847. In addition the first two Bengali weekly newspapers were from Rangpur. Printing machines took more than sixty years to reach East Bengal or Dhaka from Kolkata. The first English weekly newspaper, ''The Dacca News'', was printed and published from Dhaka in 1856. So, it is assumed that after nine years of Rangpur press, the first printing machine of Dhaka was established and the press was named 'Dacca Press'.
== Dacca Press ==
The printed edition of ''The Dacca News'' came out on 18 April 1856 from the Dacca Press. In the beginning, it was a one-page edition costing two annas per copy. It was initially a weekly paper coming out on every Saturday. With the 13th version, the pages were increased to four and it also had a 'supplement' but the then current market price was cause of concern. With its second volume, the pages were increased to eight.〔1. see to ''The Dacca News'' file, 1856, quoted in ''Unish Shatake Dhakar Mudran o Prakashana''〕 There were five owners of Dacca Press who were also the owners of the newspaper. They were A.M Cameron, N.P Pogose, J.A Greg, J.P Wise, and K.A Gani.〔2.From the 'Proceedings of the Government of Bengal in the General Department, January, 1865,pp.4-5, from ''Unish Shatake Dhakar Mudran and Prakashana'' by Muntasir Mamun〕 It was a tumultuous period when the riot between English indigo planters and Bengali peasants was at its peak. Most of the owners were zamindars and they published newspapers to secure their own interests. Alexander Forbes, the editor of ''The Dacca News'' wrote in one of the edition of ''The Dacca News'':
Sreenath Dutta, a Bengali, was the printer of the newspaper till the 13th edition. Probably, Forbes had trained him. It was during the time that the printing press faced severe adversity, though Dhaka had been once the capital of Bengal and also one of the major cities of the East Bengal at that time. Forbes mentions in one of the editions of ''Dacca News'' of 1856 that he could not print a report due to the lack of necessary types.
