A newspaper is a periodical publication containing news, articles, features and advertising. It is typically printed on inexpensive paper like newsprint. By 2007, there were 6,580 daily newspapers worldwide selling 395 million copies daily, though the late 2000s recession and growth of online media caused many papers to close or cut back. National broadsheet newspapers in the UK include The Sunday Times and The Daily Telegraph, while tabloids include The Sun and Daily Mail. Free local papers cover specific areas and communities, while paid local papers like the Croydon Advertiser serve local readers. The newspaper industry is linked to photography and advertising. Technology has impacted the press as people increasingly get news online for free rather than purchasing physical papers.
