A scheduled publication which has detailed news related to recent
events, contains articles on general and informative topics and has
advertisements generally related to almost all fields and services is
termed as newspaper. It is printed for the masses of local area and a
low grade paper is used in it. According to one research about 6850
daily newspaper publications sold 395 million copies in a day in the
year 2007. Since then the number has grown even more considerably and is
sure to touch even greater heights in near future.
It is a known
fact that all newspapers are published locally at a place and are
distributed to surrounding areas. There cannot be a daily publication
sold around the globe exactly in the same format. Thus, it would be
better to term the publication as local newspaper. These papers do
contain news related to current events from around the globe but are
written from the perspective of local area.
Thus, a local
newspaper has its own point of view on an event which might be entirely
different from the one held by another local newspaper being published
and distributed at some other part of the world. There is bound to be a
difference in the opinions between your local newspaper carrying news
from some other part of the world and a newspaper that belongs to an
area where the event actually occurred.
