Newspaper is called the storehouse of knowledge. It is the third eye of a democratic government. It contains news and views of our daily life. We find social and economic, literary and cultural, national and international, political and religious news in a newspaper. A daily newspaper contains features of various sorts including science fiction. The page of sports and games entertains the persons interested in them. The businessmen and tradesmen get to know the market prices of different commodities and the state of share market. They get the everyday programmes of banks, the banking system, trade and commerce of home and abroad.
Persons devoted to literature find their aesthetic food in the page for literature. Those who are fond of music, films, cultural activities etc. find zest of life in the concerned pages. There are pages for women, students and advertisements of different sorts. Readers get to know everyday events and affairs in full swing. The editorial and sub-editorial columns discuss very importent topics of the day. Different intellectual features provide information for the researchers, thinkers and philosophers. Thus people of all classes, tastes and creeds can satisfy their curiosity and inquisitiveness.
Newspaper develops our ideas. It broadens our outlook and enriches our thought. It refines our sensibility and removes narrowness. It fosters and nourishes high thinking and purifies our philosophy and ideology. The governments publish their views to the people through a newspaper. The people also express their independent opinions through it. In this way, newspaper becomes the common platform and pulpit of the nation. It becomes a part and parcel of information-loving people.
