3. Newspaper definition
A newspaper is a scheduled publication containing news of current events, informative
articles, diverse features, editorials, and advertising. It usually is printed on relatively
inexpensive, low-grade paper such as newsprint. By 2007, there were 6,580 daily
newspapers in the world selling 395 million copies a day. The worldwide recession of
2008, combined with the rapid growth of web-based alternatives, caused a serious
decline in advertising and circulation, as many papers closed or sharply retrenched
operations.
General-interest newspapers typically publish stories on local and national political
events and personalities, crime, business, entertainment, society and sports. Most
traditional papers also feature an editorial page containing editorials written by an editor
and columns that express the personal opinions of writers. The newspaper is typically
funded by paid subscriptions and advertising.
A wide variety of material has been published in newspapers, including editorial
opinions, criticism, persuasion and op-eds; obituaries; entertainment features such as
crosswords, sudoku and horoscopes; weather news and forecasts; advice, food and
other columns; reviews of radio, movies, television, plays and restaurants; classified
ads; display ads, radio and television listings, inserts from local merchants, editorial
cartoos, gag cartoons and comic strips.
