Short Essay on Newspaper
Introduction:
The newspaper is a necessity in modern life. It
is now printed in almost all languages and in all countries of the world. It
gives us news of what is happening in the world.
Classification:
Formerly newspapers contained only news. But now
they contain not only news but also views on various subjects. Thus, now, there
are various classes of papers. They can be classified according to the number
of times they appear in a year. Some are printed daily, some twice in a week,
some weekly, some fortnightly, and some monthly.
Advantages of Newspaper:
Newspapers serve many purposes. They wield much
influence and power. They keep us informed of what is happening in other parts
of the country and the world. They give us information about the latest
inventions, researches, discoveries, etc. and new ideas. The traders advertise
their goods in the papers. This helps to push up the sale of their goods.
Business, in modern times, cannot thrive without advertisement. Thus,
newspapers help a good deal in trade. They build the nation and also guide the
Government of the country. They generally make healthy criticisms of the
activities of the Government. They point out its mistakes and set it on the
right path. They serve as a link between the people and the Government.
Disadvantages of Newspaper:
It has been said above that newspapers wield much
power and influence. Now, this power can be abused also. In that case, it is
capable of doing tremendous harm. It may spread communal hatred and foment
rebellion or revolt.
Conclusion:
Many papers serve a particular interest and give
biased views. Therefore, people should not be led away by false news or by the
views of particular paper. They should exercise their own judgment and form
their own opinion.
