Almost every family
in America or England buys at
least one copy of a newspaper each day. Some people buy as many as two or three
different papers.
Why do people read
newspapers?
Newspapers supply us with news about events in our home towns,
in our country, and in other parts of the world. Today we can read about
important things that took place in foreign countries on the same day they
happened, even in countries far away. But hundreds of years ago news of things
took months or even years to travel from one country to another. In those
times, news was often passed from one person to another and never entirely
true. Newspapers today supply us with more than just what happened in our
country or in other countries. If we want to know what the weather will be
like, we can read the weather reports. If we want to find out what films are
being shown, or what plays or concerts we can go to, we can look in the
newspapers.
