The content of the newspaper varies, it generally consist the combination of news, opinion and advertising. Reporters and other journalists keep us updated of what’s happening around us daily in the editorial section. Advertisements section can be divided into two parts; classified and display. Classified advertisements are small, text-only items obtained via telephone and set into the format by the classified advertising representatives while display advertisements are obtained by sales representatives employed by the newspaper to get more businesses by getting more advertisements for the newspaper.
A newspaper is printed on a thin paper made from a combination of recycled matter and wood pulp, and it won’t last very long. Large printing presses, usually located at a plant separate from the editorial and advertising headquarters, print the editions, and delivery trucks transport them to the newsstands and several distribution centers for subscribers.
In ancient Rome, they posted news of the day in public, but it was not until the invention of the printing press in the late middle age that printed material was mass-produced. One hundred and fifty years later after the invention of printing by Johann Gutenberg, the first regular newspaper Avisa Relation oder Zeitung, appeared in Germany in the early 17th century and the first English-language newspaper, the Weekly News was published in England in 1622.
