د "ورځپاڼه" د بڼو تر مېنځ توپير

The [[Johann Carolus|first printed newspaper]] was published in [[1605]], and the form has thrived even in the face of competition from technologies such as [[radio]], [[television]], and the [[internet]]. Recent developments on the internet are, however, posing major challenges to the business model of many newspapers. Paid circulation is declining in most countries, and advertising revenue, which makes up the bulk of most newspapers' income, is shifting from print to online, resulting in a general decline in newspaper profits. This has led to some predictions that newspapers’ role in society will shrink or even disappear, although historically, new media technologies such as radio and television never supplanted print media.

 

General-interest newspapers are usually [[journal]]s of current [[news]]. Those can include [[Politics|political events]], [[crime]], [[business]], [[culture]], [[Sportswriting|sports]], and opinions (either [[editorial]]s, [[Column (newspaper)|columns]], or [[political cartoon]]s). Newspapers use [[photograph]]s to illustrate stories; they use [[editorial cartoonist]]s, usually to illustrate writing that is opinion, rather than news.
