A newspaper is a piece of printed media that can be released either daily or weekly. Most times the paper will be divided into certain topics, such as sports, business, and politics, while also containing ads on each page. The front page of each paper usually contain the most important news. One of the oldest connections to the modern newspaper was in 16th century Venice. Pieces of handwritten news would circulate the city, which leads some to believe that Venice play a large role in the development of the modern newspaper since it was a large trade center. Some of the oldest papers in the US are the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, New York Post, and the Wall Street journal all of which are still published today.

In major city’s papers such as the New York Times, people receive news on almost everything that happens. In the newest edition of the digital New York Times there are lots of small articles on current events such as Politics and the presidential race and events happening along the border. To be a newspaper of public record means, that the paper is widely known and read daily and has been authorized to publish public and legal notices to the public. There are currently three newspapers of record in the US, which are the New York Times, Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times. The New York Times in fact was the Nation’s first designated Newspaper of Record.
Today we have many ways to find out our news. Some people of started using social media such as Twitter and Facebook rather than reading it in a newspaper. Reading your news on social media is much different from reading from a paper of some sort. This because with a newspaper you are limited in what you learn, the publisher can determine what they want you to know as the reader. While social media on the other hand allows you to be more interactive. With social media being on the internet people can search the topic and learn even more or they are able to comment on and article and ask questions to the author directly.
