Newspaper especially of the popular variety,aim to do two things to inform and to entertain.Entertainment is principally found in center pages of the newspaper,in some of the feature articles and in some local stories.The principal aim of short news report on the front page is to inform.


most newspaper are published daily,and the news reporters must make sure that they have up-to the minutes news.In their news report they will aim to create a sense of immediacy,to convey the impression that they have rushed the news to the reader and that the information contained is the very latest.



Reports also wish to create a sense of authenticity,that their news is accurate and genuine.They may thus refer to their sources to the spokesmen who inform them perhaps quoting their very words to show that has been produce is the real news.



Just as reporter appears to be hurry to find out and then retell their facts so too the readers of the daily newspaper are often in hurry,trying to read as much of the news as possible before rushing to the work.This is perhaps what indicates very common form for news reports.According to this format,the first paragraph or two of the news report contain most of the main points of the story,in a condensed or summary form.The following paragraphs go over all the main points again,but this time adding more details.Thus the reader who is in hurry can get the main idea of the story by reading just the initial paragraphs.The editor of this story also benefits from this format,for if he or she runs out of space in the paper,some of the last paragraph of the story can be deleted without too much harm.



Informing and entertaining are the two aim of the newspaper.Informative and entertaining item are found on the front with two things assuring the readers that the news they have reported is the latest and at the same time true.



The typical format of news reports,which consist in the initial paragraph or two giving the summary of the detail news in the succeeding paragraphs,serves the common purpose of both reader and the editor.The informer is usually in a hurry and is content with the summary and the later can always delete the details when short of space.
