Non-scholar professional writers, both freelance and employees of newspaper.
Very up-to-date news reports; editorials on current issues
Editorials reflect point of view of author and often that of the newspaper itself. News articles are supposed to present factual information without bias and generally adhere to this policy. There are times, however, when the reader would be wise to determine what the newspaper's stance on an issue is or whether it supports or opposes public officials or proposed legislation. Some newspapers are better than others in adhering to the policy of objective reporting. The Courier-Journal and the New York Times are two newspapers that generally provide factual and objective information in news reports.
No bibliographies or footnotes; some photo illustrations; some charts, diagrams and other forms of illustrations. Newspapers provide information on local and state events and issues, as well as national and international news.
