The early efforts at news sheets and periodicals were spotty. Roger L'Estrange produced both "The News" and "City Mercury", but neither of them was a sustained effort. Henry Muddiman was the first to succeed in a regular news paper with the "London Gazette". In 1665, Muddiman produced the "Oxford Gazette" as a digest of news of the royal court, which was in Oxford to avoid the plague in London. When the court moved back to Whitehall later in the year, the title "London Gazette" was adopted (and is still in use today). Muddiman had begun as a journalist in the Interregnum and had been the official journalist of the Long Parliament (in the form of "The Parliamentary Intelligencer"). Although Muddiman's productions are the first regular news accounts, they are still not the first modern newspaper, as the work was sent in manuscript by post to subscribers and was not a printed sheet for general sale to the public. That had to wait for "The Athenian Mercury".
