A newspaper makes it money from the price people pay for it and also from
the advertisings it carries. A popular newspaper with a circulation of over five
millions daily does a lot of money. Less seriously newspapers are probably read just
for entertainment. They have big headings above the new stories, funny cartoons to
look at and sensational photos of violent. The gossip columns are full of stories of
private live of famous people. No one takes the political views of such papers
seriously. On an other hand, in a free country where there is no censorship, serious
newspapers are read principle for their news, sent to themselves by their
correspondents around the world and by the big news agencies. People also read
these newspapers for their revisions of new books, films and plays and for the
editorials what represent the opinion of the newspaper itself about the important
events and issues of the moment.
