Newspapers are regularly published collections of news, information, and advertising printed on inexpensive paper. They typically include stories on politics, business, entertainment, and sports, as well as editorials, reviews, columns, comics, weather, and more. Newspapers have existed for centuries, evolving from ancient Roman announcements to the first published newspapers in the 1600s in Europe. Industrialization led to advances like faster printing presses. In recent decades, television and the internet have challenged newspapers' business models and led to declining profits and closures, though many papers now have online editions.
