“If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed.
If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed.”

A newspaper is a publication that is issued daily or weekly
Today we have a large number of different types of newspapers.
For comparison, I have selected the following two: Daily Times and Financial Times.

Contents of both newspapersMost of the news stories are in inverted pyramid style in FTFT always starts with a short paragraph that gives a brief
account of what the entire news story will comprise of. For example,
Sara Hassan 16-10886
FT has a slant towards London as seen in its slogan as well.
DT paints a better picture of Pakistan especially Sindh and Punjab.
FT is molding a very bad name for Pakistan
Sara Hassan 16-10886
FT uses flowery language while DT uses clear and straight forward writing style.
The use of words is very simple for the lay man to understand in DT and vice versa
Both have around 6 to 7 columns in total in one page

The length of articles is almost the same in both
There is clarity and to the point information in Daily Times unlike FT
The headings of FT are very dynamic and catchy
