Publishing is the process of mass production and dissemination of literature or information – the activity of making information available for public view.
Traditionally, the term refers to the distribution of printed works such as books and newspapers.
With the advent of the reading revolution in the mid 19th century, publishing became a mass medium, see Grub Street.
