2. Education and Information
Newspapers contain current
news, editorials, feature
articles, and usually advertising.
Local newspapers will enclose
relevant news stories and local
business’s advertisements within
that area.
3. Social Interaction and Personal Identity
Newspapers inform the public about what is happening in
the world, country, city, town or borough. Newspapers are a
source for social interaction which enables us to relate to
society.
A local newspaper helps a reader identify themselves by
relating to the stories.
5. Escape
While we read about other
peoples lives and events we
are taken out of daily day to
day life. Newspapers provide
a distraction in a similar way
that reality TV shows do.
