What type of information should be provided in a newspaper?

Answer 1

You should put sports and weather and things on sale. People like to see polls. And of course, information about what happened recently in the newspaper's city and region as well as around the world, i.e. news.

Answer 2

A newspaper should provide current and relevant information such as news stories, feature articles, editorials, opinion pieces, and local events. It should cover a variety of topics including politics, business, sports, entertainment, and community news. Accuracy, fairness, and a variety of perspectives are key elements in quality journalism.

Answer 3

Truly it depends on the newspaper. If the paper is designed to cover a specific category of things than it will tend to focus on that. Other newspapers - such as the New York Times or the Los Angeles times - will tend to report world news. Most major newspapers will cover the same topics and stories for world news, and then focus on specific stories that pertain to their area.

Answer 5

Newspapers use a variety of material to create a readable and informative product. The placement and the writing style of articles typically follows a predictable format.

The placement of articles depends on the size / page count of the newspaper, but typically proceeds as:

• Front Page - Headlines - Top World and State/Regional, or major Local news stories above the fold, followed below the fold with less important State/Regional and Local news
• Page 2 and on continue with less important news, mixed with "local interest" stories.
• Opinion or Letters to the Editor may appear in any section, but most papers establish the column's location as a set feature.
• Feature Stories - Often longer than a News article, but appears anywhere after the Front Page.
• Community News -- Births, Engagements, Weddings; a prominent person's death may appear on the front page or following pages as well as in the Obituary Section if the person was a local resident.
• Local Obituaries and Funeral Notices
• Classifieds and Advertisements - Larger ads may appear anywhere after the Front Page
• Any item, including Ads may be used as "fillers", e.g. used to fill a space left at the end of a news story, a Community News item, or any column

Newspapers must balance newsworthy stories with community events/ community interest stories, and for-fee classifieds and ads. Newspapers ensure that local people will want to buy a paper by including the community's news. People order or buy extra copies of newspapers when the family is shown in a school honor roll, school graduation, a wedding engagement, a (post) wedding announcement, an obituary, or when a person/family or even a business is chosen to be featured in an issue. Through the combination of fee-items and community items, newspapers ensure people will buy newspapers. The only other driving force for individuals to buy extra copies or that more people will buy one issue is when a paper focuses on a major local event (example: Bicentennial of the town) or major national event (example: the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy).
