To keep up with what is happening in the world, well-informed people read newspapers and news magazines. They listen to the news on the radio and they watch it on television.

Most American newspapers also publish an enlarged Sunday edition containing articles a bout the news of the day and of the week, plus a number of entertainment and advertising supplements. Daily newspapers are designed to be read quickly by busy people looking for specific information.

Other types of newspapers include campus newspapers, written by students at universities, and weekly newspapers, usually intended for a specific audience.

S. broadcast news every hour, and a few all-news stations broadcast news and news commentary, programs all day, Most commercial television stations have news programs in the evening ( beginning at 5:00 or 6:00 p. m. ) and at night ( beginning at 10:00 of 11:00 p. m. ).
