A '''newspaper''' is a regularly printed digest of [[news]] stories, investigative journalism, review, editorial opinion and feature articles. Major papers are published daily; minor ones weekly. They contain syndicated news from sources such as [[Associated Press]] and [[Reuters]], as well as features, as well as local reporting and advertising. The prestige papers have their own news bureaus in the state and national capital and other major cities.

The newspaper industry is currently in decline around the world, because of the influence of 24 hour television news channels and the Internet as sources of news. The [[Recession of 2008]] hammered newspapers hard, because their main revenue source is advertising for new houses, jobs, automobiles and department stores, all of which cut back sharply.  Since December 2008, numerous major major newspapers have entered bankruptcy, including the ''Chicago Tribune'',  ''Chicago Daily News,'' ''Los Angeles Times,'' and Minneapolis ''Star Tribune'', while Denver's ''Rocky Mountain News'' shut down in February 2009 and other major papers may follow it into history.  [[Image:No-news.jpg|thumb|320px|left]]

The Seattle ''Post-Intelligencer'' in March 2009 became the largest American paper to drop its print edition and become an Internet-only publication. It cut  its news staff from 165 jourenalists to only 20. A part of the Hearst chain, the P-I had a print circulation of 118,000 a day but lost $14 million in 2008 and no one wanted to buy it.
