The background to newspaper

There are different types of newspapers such as weeky, daily, national and local. A newspaper is a publication containing news, information, and advertising. General-interest newspapers often feature articles on political events, crime, business, art/entertainment, society and sports. Most traditional papers such as Times and Independent features an editorial page containing columns that expresses views of the writers.

Newspapers are most often published on a daily or weekly basis, and they usually focus on one specific geographical area where most of their readers live. Although there are decrease in newspaper sales, circulation and profits, newspapers are still the most iconic mode for obtaining news.

While most newspapers are aimed at a broad audience, usually geographically defined, some focus on groups of readers defined more by their interests than their location: for example, there are daily and weekly business newspapers and sports newspapers.

In the area in which I my newspaper is based which is Salford there are two types of local newspapers such as Manchester Evening News and the Salford Advertiser.
