Description
Introduction Newspapers, like any other news communication media, aim to inform, educate and entertain. They are usually inexpensive, easily accessible, have diverse social uses, and can be read and reread. They often circulate widely, thereby having potential impact on large numbers of people in a country. Xu (2006) also pointed out that 47.2% of China's huge population consider newspapers as their first source of information, a proportion much higher than for television and radio. Although newspapers' preeminence continues to be challenged by radio, television, periodicals and websites, they still remain popular and influential. Yanovitzky (2002) reported that on average, legislators spent 1.8 hours each day reading daily newspapers and 1.5 hours a day watching television news programmes. Kawamoto (2003) also noted the power of the press through which was unfolded, the Watergate scandal that led to he resignation of President Nixon of the USA in the 1970's. Much of the credit went to the Washington Post newspaper whose investigative prowess exposed the deal and led to important social reforms.
