What is local edition of newspaper?

Answer 1

Many newspapers that publish nationwide include local editions with information pertaining to the direct location of where you are. It is convenient because it pinpoints things like news, sales and more, that are directly relevant to where you live.

Answer 2

• refers to news coverage of events in a local context which would not normally be of interest to those of other localities, or otherwise be of national or international scope.

Answer 3

It refers to the time the hard-copy newspaper is available. For example, the Quincy (MA) Patriot-Ledger only publishes an afternoon edition, which is generally available after 1 pm; the Boston Globe only publishes a morning edition, which arrives early in the morning before breakfast.

But if you were asking this question before the internet became popular, you would notice a number of editions through the day: in the 1960s, for example, a typical newspaper might publish a morning edition, a mid-day edition, and a late afternoon edition. And if there were some important breaking news story, such as when President Kennedy was assassinated, the newspaper would publish an "Extra" edition. And some newspapers also published a late evening edition, to include the sports scores and other late news.

Today, most print newspapers only have one daily edition and they use their website to update the news constantly. Thus, we may be seeing the end of the concept of a newspaper's edition, since at some future time, most (or maybe all) newspapers may use the web to publish, which will mean that, like radio and TV, newspapers will be able to provide news as it happens, rather than compiling it and publishing a hard-copy version at a specific time each day.

Answer 4

A local edition of a newspaper is a version that is specifically tailored to a certain geographic area or community. It contains news and information relevant to that particular locality, often including stories about events, people, and issues of interest to residents in that area. Local editions help newspapers connect with their readers on a more personal and community-based level.
