Newspapers are regularly published collections of news, information, and advertising printed on inexpensive paper. They typically include stories on politics, crime, business, entertainment, and sports, as well as science/technology breakthroughs, editorials, reviews, advice columns, comics, puzzles, weather, and advertising. While newspapers began as journals to record current events, the profession of journalism developed to produce them. Journalism is defined as documenting all newsworthy events and ideas in society in a timely manner to inform the public. Good journalists are resourceful, critical, objective, and conscientious in separating facts from bias to fulfill journalism's functions of informing, influencing, and entertaining communities.
