题目内容
阅读理解The editor must never forget that the success of any newspaper depends on advertising. He is usually anxious to keep the good will of local businessmen for this reason. But if the newspaper is well written and the news items have been carefully chosen to attract local readers, the businessmen are thankful for the opportunity to keep their products in the public eye.
Local newspapers do not often comment on problems of national importance and editors rarely take sides on political questions. But they can often be of service to the community in expressing public feeling on local issues. A newspaper can sometimes persuade the council to take action to provide better shopping facilities, improve transport in the area and preserve local monuments and places of interest.
These papers often sound rather dull and it seems surprising that they all make a profit, but for many people in small towns and villages the death of someone known to them or the fix of traffic lights at a busy corner nearby can sometimes be more important than a disaster in a foreign country.
