Newspapers in Great Britain vary greatly in their ways of carrying the news. There are serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both at home and abroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment (娱乐) to information.
The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably THE TIMES. It began in 1785, and has a high reputation(名声) for believable news and serious opinions on the news. It calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Leading articles give the opinions of the editors(编辑), not those of the owners of the paper.
Letters to the editors are printed in parts of the newspaper. These parts of THE TIMES are always interesting. Most of the letters are on serious subjects, but from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people, compared with the manners of thirty years ago.
