National Newspaper

• A newspaper is a publication sold and distributed regularly in a fixed interval, such as monthly, bi-monthly, weekly, or daily
• Newspapers fall under the category of "periodicals" and are meant to be persuasive, including opinions and comments to stimulate reactions from readers
• Newspapers also serve the latent function of entertaining readers through the use of photos, cartoons, quizzes, and other interesting features
• Dailies are newspapers published every day, while weeklies are published weekly
• National papers are widely available and easily bought, falling under two categories: popular papers and heavy or quality papers
• Popular papers present news in a lively fashion with easy-to-read articles and many photographs
• Heavy or quality papers are printed with longer articles that stress important and serious events in the country
• Some newspaper publishers produce Sunday papers with the same nameplate as the daily papers, but with different editors and editorial staff due to more readers available on Sundays
• The price of Sunday papers tends to be higher than regular papers, but they contain more news
