newspapers
in the past people learnt about news from newspapers. nowadays people usually learn what is hap- pening in the country and in the world from tv or radio news. programmes or from the internet. still we cannot imaging our life without newspapers. there are dozens ofthem on every news-stand. there are newspapers for professionals, for businessmen, for children and teenagers, for men and woman, for sports fans, for those who are interested in gardening and for those who keep pets.
some newspapers publish serious articles on politics, economy and finance, some aim to entertain their readers. many newspapers express curtain political opinion and people choose them according to their own political beliefs. in short, you can always find a which suits your interests.
besides, there are many free local newspapers which are put into your whether you ask for
it or not. probably they are not interesting, because they consist mainly ofadvertisments, but you can find a lot ofuseful telephone numbers and addresses there.
probably in no other country there are such great differences between the various national daily
newspapers like in britain - in the type of news they report and the way they report it. on the one hand, there are "quality" newspapers: the times, the independent, the guardian, the financial times and the daily telegraph. these concern themselves, as far as possible, with factual reports of major nation- al and international events, with the world of politics and business and with the arts and sport.
on the other hand, there are the "populars" and "tabloids", so- called because oftheir smaller size. the tabloids - the most widely read of which are the daily mail, the daily express, the daily mirror, the sun and the daily star - concentrate on more emotive reporting of stories often featuring violence, the royal family, film and pop stars and sport. it's often said that the popular press aims to entertain its readers rather than inform them.
the tabloid press is much more popular than the quality press. in some countries newspapers are
owned by government or by political parties. this is not the case in britain. newspapers here are mostly owned by individuals or by publishing companies, and the editors ofthe papers are usually allowed con- siderate freedom ofexpression. this is not to say that newspapers are without political bias. papers like the daily telegraph, the daily express and the sun, for example, usually reflect conservative opinions in their comment and reporting, while the daily mirror and the guardian have a more left-wing bias. in addition to the 12 national daily newspapers there are nine national papers which are published on sundays. most ofthe "sundays" contain more reading matter toan daily papers, and several ofthem also include "colour supplements" - separate colour magazines which contain photographically- illustrated feature articles. reading a sunday paper, like having a big sunday lunch, is an important tra- dition in many british households.
besides, nearly every area in britain has one or more local newspapers. the british are one ofthe
biggest newspaper-reading nations in the world.
