Part One: The Newspaper

Newspapers are publications usually issued on a daily or weekly basis, the main function of which is to report the news. Newspapers also provide commentary on the news, advocate various public policies, furnish special information and advice to readers, and sometimes include features such as comic strips, cartoons, and serialized books. In nearly all cases and in varying degrees, they depend on the publication of commercial advertising for their income. Despite the development of cinema, radio broadcasting, and television in the 20th century, newspapers remain a major source of information.

Inverted Pyramid Style(倒金字塔结构)---also called flashback THE LEAD OFFERS THE MOST ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS TELLING WHO WHAT WHEN WHERE WHY AND HOW OF THE STORY The second paragraph has less important information and begins to fill in details about the lead.
