The Importance of Reading Newspaper
The importance of reading a newspaper can hardly be overstated. Newspapers are the storehouse of knowledge.
The chief business of a newspaper is to give us news which we need to know. It tells us what happens at home and abroad. The modern civilized people cannot do without a newspaper.
Venice in Europe was the first city to introduce a newspaper. 'India Gazette' was the first Bengali newspaper of this subcontinent. There are many kinds of newspapers, such as daily, weekly, fortnightly and monthly. Most of the people read the dailies, because they carry for us fresh and current news of the day. They also contain the views expressed by great leaders and thinkers of the world on current topics.
The monthlies contain articles, stories, poems and other literary writings. The newspaper is a useful means of both pleasure and education. It tells us what is going on in our country as well as in foreign countries. It keeps us informed of the latest discoveries. In brief, it is the summary of current history.
The politicians, businessmen, scientists, doctors, economists all learn the news of their own interests from a newspaper. The government gathers public opinion regarding any subject of political interest through a newspaper and frames policies accordingly. The businessmen learn about the ups and downs of the market prices.
A newspaper often publishes false news or sometimes it exaggerates things. We should patronize the publication of a few more newspapers in our country.
