Are all written pieces literary

Answer 1

By no means. Most writing is not literature. Even some literature is not literature.

"All writings" includes a vast amount of factual material: historical records, technical information, law and legal commentary, journalistic writings, nonfiction of many other kinds. There is also the whole body of advertising, marketing, Propaganda, political writing, and so on, whose aim is to sell something: product, point of view, position, cause, etc. None of this is literature.

Most of what you find in magazines and newspapers is not literature, even though there's an awful lot of words in them. (Some nonfiction is literature; the lines are not as crisp as all that.)

There is a very loose sense of "literature" to mean almost any kind of writing--for example, "advertising literature"--but that is not what we mean when we talk about literature as such.

Answer 2

How about the phone book? (Great cast of characters, but a lousy plot.)

Answer 3

No, newpaper is not considered a literature. Newspaper is compilation of reports, datas,infos. However, there is literary flavour in essays,editorials which is like curd made out of milk.
