      Daily newspapers print world, national, and local news. They also carry
editorials, opinion columns, feature articles, and entertainment items. Big-city dailies
print many stories on social and political issues, such as the quality of schools and the
efficiency of government.
      Many dailies are morning papers, others are afternoon papers, and a few publish
around the clock. In large cities, many morning papers publish several editions-the
first one in early evening and the last one in the early morning. Similarly, many
afternoon papers publish from early morning to late afternoon.
      In some countries, additional features and more additional features and more
advertising make Sunday newspapers much larger than weekday editions. Numerous
Sunday papers have special sections on such topics as entertainment, finance, and
travel. They may also include a Sunday magazine, a guide to television programmes,
and coloured comics.
      Weekly newspapers, in general, serve much smaller areas than daily papers and
publish news of a more personal nature. In small communities, most people know one
another and take great interest in the activities of their friends and neighbours.
Weeklies also report news of local business and politics. Most weekly newspapers do
not carry national or world news.
      Special-interest newspapers print news of concern to particular groups. Many
large companies and trades unions publish newspapers for their members.
Newspapers printed in foreign languages serve foreign-born residents in big cities.
