Newspapers can cover a wide variety of fields such as politics, business, sports and art, and often
include materials such as opinion columns, weather forecasts, reviews of local services, birth
notices, crosswords, editorial cartoons, comic strips, and advice columns.
Newspapers have traditionally been published in print (usually on cheap, low-grade paper called
newsprint). However, today most newspapers are also published on websites as online
