newspapers

Folded morning reading

Newspapers are printed publications issued daily or weekly containing news, articles, opinion pieces, and advertisements.

Before the internet era, they were the primary source of current events for most people, and the term still applies to their digital descendants.

The newspaper is often simply called the paper: I saw your letter in the paper.

Someone who delivers newspapers to homes has a paper route.
