A newspaper is a publication containing news and information and advertising, usually printed on low-cost paper called newsprint. It may be general or special interest, most often published daily or weekly. The first printed newspaper was published in 1605, and the form has thrived even in the face of competition from technologies such as radio and television. Recent developments on the Internet are posing major threats to its business model, however. Paid circulation is declining in most countries, and advertising revenue, which makes up the bulk of a newspaper's income, is shifting from print to online; some commentators, nevertheless, point out that historically new media such as radio and television did not entirely supplant existing media.
Overview
General-interest newspapers are usually journals of current news. Those can include political events, crime, business, culture, sports, and opinions (either editorials, columns, or political cartoons). Many also include weather news and forecasts. Newspapers use photographs to illustrate stories; use editorial cartoonists, usually to illustrate writing that is opinion, rather than news; and also often include comic strips and other entertainment, such as crosswords and horoscopes.
A daily newspaper is issued every day, often with the exception of Sundays and some national holidays. Saturday, and where they exist Sunday, editions of daily newspapers tend to be larger, include more specialized sections, and cost more.

Crime
Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:09:30 -0500
Book Reviews: With previous works titled "Filth," and "Porno," Irvine Welsh is one of the originals of transgressive fiction, not unlike a Scottish Chuck Palahniuk or Bret Easton Ellis. His newest novel, "Crime," doesn't deviate from that milieu, for in the past it has served him well. It's just that this time the shtick seems tiresome.
Undiscovered (Excerpt)
Fri, 11 Jul 2008 09:26:21 -0500
Book Reviews: Debra Winger was 24, with one blue movie under her belt, when she was cast in “Urban Cowboy.” She recalls her introduction to Hollywood in “Undiscovered,” her just published literary memoir.
Stuff White People Like
Fri, 11 Jul 2008 09:22:34 -0500
Book Reviews: Anyone who reads "Stuff White People Like" without perusing the blog it is based upon first, might well wonder what all the fuss is about. Stripped of the blog's media riffs, hyperlinks and swiped photos -- its very blogginess, in other words -- the tome must rely on the wit and insight of its "research findings," and there's not much of that.
Yes, You're Pregnant, but What About Me?
Fri, 11 Jul 2008 09:19:21 -0500
Book Reviews: Go ahead, blame it on the baby -- Kevin Nealon does. Stress? Baby. Sleepless nights? Baby. Failure to succeed? You guessed it. And that's before the kid's even born. In "Yes, You're Pregnant, but What About Me?," the former "Saturday Night Live" regular and co-star of Showtime's "Weeds" has written an entertaining book about the treacherous journey of a 53-year-old man stumbling toward fatherhood.
