In India we usually see cricket news in sports section, the scoreboard of a match which was played yesterday or the playing list of a player which will be played today or tomorrow. The audience who read newspaper daily are very much interested in reading the sports section because by reading the sport section in the newspaper we come to know who is playing and who is not so it becomes an interesting thing for the newspaper readers to know something about the play or the players. If the match is going to be played and one of the player or some of the player is not playing, we also got to know why the player is not playing what is the reason, is he/she injured or drop from the squad , we got to know everything in the sports section related to the sportsman or sportswoman.

This is one of the most interesting section most of people or the large amount of people buy the newspaper just because to read this section. In India it is mostly about the movie actor and actress. The people of India are eager to know about their favourite actor or actress, they mostly want to know about their way of living, what they eat, where they sleep, how big their house is, do they are married or unmarried and if they are unmarried then when they are planning to get married and with whom they are planning to get married is she/he is an actor/actress or a son/daughter of a big personality. So these are things which the person of India thinks and want to know from the newspaper because in newspaper we usually get information about our question or queries. So this are the things which are really interesting and makes the reader to buy the newspaper daily and increases the selling of the newspaper daily and makes the huge profit for the newspaper company.
-
Comic section
This section is all about the children; it contains cartoon character and the games. It is the most entertaining and enjoyable section for every readers weather he/she is a child or an old man. This sections fresh our mind with good cartoon stories and images of that particular cartoon characters.
-
The other sections
These are the news which is mostly related to social crime and activities. The newspaper readers are much get upset whenever they read such news which are related to crime and the activities which are ill for the human being. Every day when we open our newspaper whatever company it is the first news which we read on the first page it will be surely the murder or about the outrage of woman or the bribe by the government servant or by the school principal, it is so negative it makes our mind divert to these kind of activities, these are good for the newspaper company because the negative publicity is also good for the selling of the newspaper and the company gets huge amount of profit also by publishing the social crime and activities in his/her newspaper section. If we are up-to-date with the newspaper we usually see that we got to know the murderer name and image in the newspaper after few days or few months or few years of murder but we got to know after a certain point of time.
Advantages and disadvantages of reading the newspaper
The advantages of reading a newspaper is that we can get information related any kind of states or countries, the biggest advantage of reading a newspaper is that it provides information related to any kind of murder or the bio-data of an actor or actress or the information related to any kind of product or the advertisement product which are shown in the newspaper anything from which the readers get some information weather it is bad or good, it should be an information. It helps keeps us up-to-date with current affairs.
If there is an advantage of a certain particular thing then surely it has got some disadvantage also. If the newspaper has advantages then surely it has got some disadvantages also and that is the biggest disadvantage of anything and that is wasting of paper, in today world millions of millions trees are cut to make papers and that paper we get from trees and so to get that we have to cut trees and so we do that and which causes are big help for the global warming to occur. The newspaper which we read is earlier a part of a tree which is now turning to a paper. It is not always possible for the readers to read every section, so some of them skip that part or the section and read the interesting one which the reader likes to read. And that was the disadvantage of making a newspaper and the disadvantage of newspaper news is that sometimes the news written is a lie or it might contain half truth in it because now-a-days to sell the newspaper the author exaggerate too much to hold their spectators or the readers so that they will read the news from their company only. But sometimes reading the newspaper might be little depressing thing for the readers because knowing about the problems which contains murder or the helplessness of a man/woman house related problem.
Its abuses
Newspaper also helps us to get various public opinions. It can educate a man properly. It makes us to know about the present condition of the society and how to overcome the weakness of a society. It has a tremendous effect on people in political aspect. It restricts a government to be autocratic because such a government often tries to control the press and destroys its freedom. But through the constructive criticism of the press such a government is forced to control its negative approach and which is a plus point for the readers of newspapers. The newspaper not only increases our general knowledge but also does a social service by stopping the bullies and the ill mannered bad politicians to do something wrong for the area or for the state or for the country. The media in this world are meant to be the strongest circle of justice it shows the fact what is happened and who is wrong. Many people wait for the tomorrow newspaper to know what has been done today. Every individual day when we open our newspaper in the morning we usually read bad news which is usually too related to ill behaviour, un-mannerism, badness and the outrage on woman.
Conclusion
Thus the newspaper has also a great responsibility to lead the people appropriately. It should deliver impartial views. But it is pathetic to say that it has become a far cry because the newspapers are owned by either capitalists or political parties. So people should be conscious about the fact and should avoid such partial newspapers. And if you are depress about the bad and ill news so it’s better to read the entertainment section or the news which are far away from the crime and outrage. Whereas about me I always prefer to read news which is related to our country? Comic section is the best section in the newspaper and all should read this section because it keeps us away from the depressing news.
