Question
Newspaper is an important medium of education and information.
✓
Answer
Newspapers report events which are interesting to the public. But the importance of newspaper stretches far beyond a passing humari interest in events.
It covers a miscellany of topical issues. News would involve matters of higher importance like war, global warming, education, national elections or trivial issues such as scandals, gossips and debates on minor controversies.
Newspapers have contributed significantly to the spread of literacy and the concept of human rights and democratic freedoms.
They are integral to the development of democracy. In fact, they can help in making the democracy stronger.
Newspapers not only report the events but continue to shape opinions in the global village.
