 A newspaper is a publication sold and distributed
regularly in a fixed interval.

 It may be monthly, bi-monthly, weekly, daily, etc.

and this is because newspapers fall under the
category "periodicals."

 Usually, news in newspapers is meant to be

persuasive, and this is why some news includes
opinions and comments that stimulate reactions
from the readers.

 Another latent function of newspapers is to
entertain by their use of photos, cartoons, quizzes
and other interesting features.
 While papers published every day are called
dailies, we call those which are published weekly
weeklies.
 National papers are widely available and easily
bought. National papers fall under two categories:
broadsheets and tabloid.

that takes a serious look at major news stories.
 Tabloid- A smaller than standard newspaper
which focuses on less "serious" content, especially
celebrities, sports, and sensationalist crime stories.
