Newspaper

A newspaper is a lightweight and disposable publication, usually printed on low-cost paper called newsprint. It may be general or special interest, and may be published daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, bimonthly, or quarterly. They are the oldest form of widespread information gathering and dispersal, dating back some 300 years in their present form, and can be found in every country and major city of the world, as well as in most smaller communities.

The newspaper industry survived competition from 20th-century technologies, especially radio and television, but 21st-century developments on the Internet are posing major threats to its economic model. Developments such as targeted Web searches and so-called citizen journalism seem to be making the gathering and presentation of news and entertainment a separate entity from the gathering and presentation of advertising. Newspapers depend largely on income from the latter to pay for the former.

General-interest newspapers are usually journals of current news on a variety of topics. Those can include political events, crime, business, sports, and opinions (either editorials, columns, or political cartoons). Many also include weather news and forecasts. Newspapers use photographs to illustrate stories; use editorial cartoonists, usually to illustrate writing that is opinion, rather than news; and also often include comic strips and other entertainment, such as crosswords and horoscopes.
