British NewspapersPublication usually issued daily, weekly, or at other regular times that provides news, views, features, and other information of public interest and often carries advertising.
There are 11 national daily newspapers issued every day and many people read them everyday. After the lecture, I know there are two types of newspapers in British.
It is called the quality papers or the serious papers which is large size and has complete reports for local and other country’s news.
For example: The Times is published newspaper in London in 1788, and it is one of Britain's oldest and most influential, and one of the world's greatest newspapers.

Another type’s newspaper is called tabloids and it is smaller than the quality papers or the serious papers. Although these newspapers are pressed for complete reports, there are many Englishmen buy these newspapers just because they do not want to see the seriously events.
For example: The tabloids are population in 20th century, because there are many newspaper offices are established at that time. And they can find their marketing, so they have their own customers.

I think this is trend because the internet is very convenient; more and more people do not want to buy the newspapers. So the newspapers offices should think how to carry on in the future.
