NATIONAL AND CAMPUS PAPERS COMPARED
As a part of my review in Journalism, I have to know the comparison between national and campus papers.

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 of the fact that 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 the use of photos, cartoons, quizzes and other interesting features.
While papers published everyday 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: the popular paper and the heavy or quality papers. Popular papers present their news in a lively fashion with easy-to-read articles and many photographs. Heavy or quality papers are printed with longer articles stressing on important and serious events in the country.
Some newspaper publishers produce Sunday papers sometimes, with the same nameplate as the daily papers. These are not Sunday editions of the dailies but instead, they are of different editors and editorial staff. The reason behind this is the availability of more people to read during Sundays. The price of the Sunday paper tends to be higher than the regular paper but it contains more news.
