"The newspapers came into being after the discovery of paper and the printing press. Modern newspapers are a very important part of the democratic system of government and society. Newspapers are mostly owned by big business and the capitalist. The socialists countries are bringing out newspapers owned by the state. A newspaper thus is a political establishment. The newspapers mostly represent and support the view of the political parties which come to power after elections. This is called the policy of the Newspaper. However, there are some newspapers which are very independent in News reporting and they give a fair view of events and personalities. However, the fact remains that the bringing out of a newspaper greatly depends on the editorial staff., while as the newspaper is to give the widest coverage of the news and views and to should attract maximum advertisement. It is generally stated that the news papers are maintained on the basis of the advertisement some of the newspapers have established a place in the national as well as in the international field."
