Firstly, it is important to report new events. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give
about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print totally different stories to those on TV.
Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and
. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be “bad’ news. For example, newspapers
tell stories about planes landing safely,
, they tell stories about plane crashes. In addition, many people are interested in news in foreign countries while others prefer to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.
