NEWSPAPERS

Page 2: PLUG-INs  A Student’s Guide to  Information  Literacy

Do you like reading a

newspaper?

What is your favorite

section of a newspaper?

What is your favorite

newspaper?

Page 3: PLUG-INs  A Student’s Guide to  Information  Literacy

Newspapers are also fun and relaxing

to read.

Newspapers are important sources of “new” information. That’s why they are called newspapers.

Page 4: PLUG-INs  A Student’s Guide to  Information  Literacy

Newspapers are not

expensive.

Reading a newspaper is a great way to improve your vocabulary.

You can buy them at grocery stores or petrol stations. Or,

newspapers can be delivered to

your home.

Page 5: PLUG-INs  A Student’s Guide to  Information  Literacy

Titles of the stories are

called HEADLINES.

The first page of a

newspaper is called the

FRONT PAGE.

Let’s talk about

different parts of a

newspaper.

Page 6: PLUG-INs  A Student’s Guide to  Information  Literacy

A page is divided into COLUMNS to make it easy

to read.

A newspaper

has different parts or

SECTIONS.For example,

there is a Business Section, a

Sports Section, etc.

Page 7: PLUG-INs  A Student’s Guide to  Information  Literacy

A newspaper that comes

out everyday is called a

DAILY.

A half size newspaper is

called a TABLOID.

A normal size newspaper is

called a BROADSHEET.

Page 8: PLUG-INs  A Student’s Guide to  Information  Literacy

Stories in newspapers are called ARTICLES.

A person who writes articles is

called a REPORTER or a

JOURNALIST.

A reporter’s name is also

called a BYLINE.

Page 9: PLUG-INs  A Student’s Guide to  Information  Literacy

The big boss is called the

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF.

The person who manages the reporters is called an EDITOR.

Sometimes an editor will

write a special article

called an EDITORIAL.

Page 10: PLUG-INs  A Student’s Guide to  Information  Literacy

Sometimes a newspaper buys stories

from a company

called a WIRE SERVICE.

Other wire services are Al Jazeera &

Reuters.

For example, AP is a wire service; it

means Associated

Press.

Page 11: PLUG-INs  A Student’s Guide to  Information  Literacy

Words about the

photograph are called a CAPTION.

Most newspapers have many

photographs.

Usually, the photographer or source of

the photograph is in the caption.

Page 12: PLUG-INs  A Student’s Guide to  Information  Literacy

Usually a newspaper has many

advertisements or ads.

There are 2 kinds of

advertisements.

Money from the advertisements is why newspapers are usually very

cheap.

Page 13: PLUG-INs  A Student’s Guide to  Information  Literacy

But also, there are very short

ads from private people.

Companies put big advertisements

with photographs in newspapers.

We call these

CLASSIFIED ADS or just

CLASSIFIEDS.

Page 14: PLUG-INs  A Student’s Guide to  Information  Literacy

If you want to rent a house or business space,

look in the CLASSIFIEDS under rentals.

For example, if you want to buy a car, you look

in the CLASSIFIEDS under cars.

There are many

sections of the

CLASSIFIEDS.

Page 15: PLUG-INs  A Student’s Guide to  Information  Literacy

This means Opinions

and Editorials.

Another section of a newspaper is called OP

ED.

One this page we find

articles on opinions, not

facts.

Page 16: PLUG-INs  A Student’s Guide to  Information  Literacy

On the OP ED page, we find

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Usually people write

their opinions in these letters.

These letters are written by readers of the newspaper,

not reporters.

Page 17: PLUG-INs  A Student’s Guide to  Information  Literacy

The writer is called a

COLUMNIST. For example,

Noam Chomsky has a column in the Gulf News.

We call this kind of article a

COLUMN.

Sometimes a newspaper has

essays by famous people about topics in

the news.

Page 18: PLUG-INs  A Student’s Guide to  Information  Literacy

Unfortunately, newspapers use up many

trees.

Reading a newspaper

online saves trees.

Newspapers usually have

an online version from the Internet.

Page 19: PLUG-INs  A Student’s Guide to  Information  Literacy

Please help save the

planet and recycle

newspapers.
