A newspaper (often just called a paper when the context is clear) is a periodical publication containing news, other informative articles (listed below), and usually advertising. A newspaper is usually printed on relatively inexpensive, low-gradepaper such as newsprint. The news organizations that publish newspapers are themselves often metonymically called newspapers. Most newspapers now publish online as well as in print. The online versions are called online newspapers or news sites.
Newspapers are typically published daily or weekly. News magazines are also weekly, but they have a magazine format.
General-interest newspapers typically publish news articles and feature articles on national and international news as well aslocal news. The news includes political events and personalities, business and finance, crime, severe weather, and natural disasters; health and medicine, science, and technology; sports; and entertainment, society, food and cooking, clothing and home fashion, and the arts. Typically the paper is divided into sections for each of those major groupings (labeled A, B, C, and so on, with pagination prefixes yielding page numbers A1-A20, B1-B20, C1-C20, and so on). Most traditional papers also feature an editorial page containing editorials written by an editor, op-eds written by guest writers, and columns that express the personal opinions of columnists, usually offering analysis and synthesis that attempts to translate the raw data of the news into information telling the reader "what it all means" and persuading them to concur.
A wide variety of material has been published in newspapers. Besides the aforementioned news and opinions, they include weather forecasts; criticism and reviews of the arts (including literature, film, television, theater, fine arts, and architecture) and of local services such as restaurants; obituaries; entertainment features such as crosswords, horoscopes, editorial cartoons,gag cartoons, and comic strips; advice,

    The way news is shared in the United States has changed dramatically with the proliferation of the Internet. This has allowed the way people consume news to become a more personalized experience. With that said, however, specific news outlets provide information in very different ways, with information becoming more localized as the scope of the publication shrinks. National newspapers such as The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal offer coverage of large issues that affect many more people than just those of the east coast. Regional newspapers such as the Chicago Tribune and the Detroit Free Press offer some of the similar stories that are covered in those previously mentioned papers with a more localized viewpoint and these are balanced by stories of a more regional aspect such as state and local elections, sporting events and business news that affects the region. Local newspapers such as the Kalamazoo Gazette offer a very local approach, covering stories that include local schools, small businesses and local events. These are balanced by presenting information about national issues that have been previously reported in other outlets.…
