Types of newspapers
Usually newspapers are divided into two groups:
quality and popular. Quality papers contain
political, economic news, popular papers
have short articles about celebrities, crime, large headlines and a lot of
pictures. Though now it is almost
impossible to classify all the Russian newspapers
into these groups.
Local papers
In our Republic we have some
newspapers too. They usually write about local news. The papers also include weather reports and a TV
guide.
The most popular newspaper in
Cheboksary is “Pro gorod” because it is
delivered free.
Some words about press on Britain
The "quality" papers are for more serious
readership. These papers are bigger in
size, with larger articles and more detailed
information. They are - "The Times", "Daily Telegraph", "The
Guardian", "Financial Times", "The Independent".
The popular papers are less in size, with many pictures, big headlines and short articles. They are easy to read. They
are such papers as "Daily Express" "Daily mail", "Daily Mirror",
"Daily Star", "The Sun" and others.
